Is the enlargement of the genome supposedly the barrier? You could be the first creationist in the history of the world to know even one mechanism for enlarging the genome, if you could listen. I and others have been trying to tell you for a year.

I noticed Junior trying to tell you earlier on this very thread.

What did he say?

No. You have not been reading my statements. There are many problems with the creation of new genes and creation of additional "space" is a very small part. What is essential is:

1. finding the correct size of the gene for the faculty which needs to be developed.
2. finding the correct way in which the new gene will interface with the thousands of other genes and trillions of other cells in the body.
3. getting the other thousands of genes and trillions of cells in the body to interface properly with the new gene.
4. achieving a series of random mutations on the genetic material of the correct length and with the correct amino acids.
5. achieving a long series of mutations, a large proportion of which will be deadly to the organism without destroying the "gene under construction".
6. even after this fantastic gene is developed, it needs to be spread over a large population with each reproduction cutting the chances of its spreading in half until a large amount of the population has acquired at least one copy of it.
7. for the above to have happened over 20,000 times in man and its ancestors and a similar amount of times in the millions of diferent species, genus, orders, and phylums of known dead and alive species which have populated the earth.
