If I remember, you are a retired biologist? Please tell me honestly whether or not you ever wondered if it was designed when you learned about the inner workings of the cell. The way that genes are regulated is just so impressive. I read like 4 articles on histone modification a few days ago, and it is just mind blowing. Also, almost all biomolecules are capable of bearing information based on the sequence they are put in. DNA, Proteins, and Carbohydrates.(February 18, 2016 at 7:21 pm)AAA Wrote: No, there is a difference between them forming in nature and being considered spontaneous. Spontaneous have a negative change in free energy, yet peptide bonds do not.
And you are misunderstanding the Meselson and Stahl experiment. It still used the enzymes, they just demonstrated that it was semiconservative rather than conservative, nonconservative, or mixed. Semiconservative just means that each new DNA strand contains one original and one new strand.
And I am holding my biochemistry textbook that says "enzymes that have a kcat/Km ratios at the upper limits have attained kinetic perfection. Their catalytic velocity is restricted only by the rate at which they encounter substrate in the solution." Some that are perfect are acetylcholinesterase, carbonic anydrase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and there are more listed.
I always love when a low-level amateur tries to lecture the Jet Propulsion Lab's abiogenesis research teams about biochemistry.
They know that's an issue, AAA, and that's why most of the research at the moment seems to point to rock micropores as an "assist" to the process that would normally be difficult or impossible in a free solution.
Regardless, your arguments are still nothing more than "God of the Gaps" arguments, especially since you're relying on outright lies about information theory upon which to base your argument.
Educate yourself.
