Is the INK4a/ARF Overlap a Settled Example of Poor Design?
Dr. DeBenedictis’s basic argument is that there is a section of the human genome where two genes overlap, both of which are important for suppressing tumors.
Optimality Recognized in Core Biological Infrastructure
I will begin with an example from embryology, then turn to metabolism, and finish with the breadth of chemical space covered by the natural amino acids.
How Do We Decide if Something Is Well Designed or Poorly Designed?
Erika DeBenedictis’s statement that “organisms are absolutely the most sophisticated machines we know of” is supported by overwhelming evidence.
Should Scientists Play God? MIT Biological Engineer Says YES!
The design hypothesis is not currently the consensus. However, as young scientists, we should courageously question what we are told.
