Evolution of the the Bacterial Flagellum
|
 
Thanks Minimalist for the reply, however, what does it have to do with the blog post I cited in my original post? Any biologists here that can shed light on this?
In other words, "we all think he's a kook."
"Irreducible complexity" is just a fancy way of saying "Goddidit."
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
In my humble opinion the homology of appendages of reptiles and mammals holds a lot more water than the lack of homology of bacterial flagellum.

ok i looked at the blog, and then i looked at the scientific paper it cited.
the writer of the blog dishonestly represented the data. On the original paper, it doesn't say no homolog, it says "none yet known". I assume he does this because most people do not have access to scientific papers? Have you tried to search google scholar for this? Or is it behind a paywall? Haven't read the entire paper (as it's long and i'm in the middle of something), but i think it just means the scientists haven't found homologs yet, which is not surprising because there are a lot of proteins in a bacteria, these things take time and you may want to search for follow up research, since the paper he quoted is 2006.
Right, D/T. He can't convince his own colleagues. They must have some interesting departmental luncheons at Lehigh.

-Nor are we likely to find much in the way of fossilized bacteria from which something we can sequence is going to be pulled. You know what I think happened, I think that alien waffles genetically engineered the other half of those proteins. That's going to keep you up at night, earnestly wondering, isn't it? It'd take a degree in biology to work that one out, wouldn't it?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

So don't make claim that the bacteria flagellum can be completely explained TODAY by evolution. Say it's a work-in-progress or whatever. Easy enough. |
