Physics and Chemistry Could Not Give Rise to Biology
The laws of nature provide stable conditions and physical boundaries within which biological outcomes are possible.
Co-Option and Protein Homology Don’t Explain the Evolution of the Flagellum
Rope Kojonen wants to join “design and evolution,” but only by setting aside some of the main features of the flagellum.
Want to Harmonize Evolution and Design? Consider the Bacterial Flagellum
I hope it’s clear that Kojonen’s effort to harmonize evolution and design (as he envisions it) is not so easy in the case of the bacterial flagellum.
Defending Douglas Axe on the Rarity of Protein Folds
The following examination and defense of Dr. Axe serves as a direct, empirical test of Rope Kojonen’s design hypothesis.
Proteins Are Rare and Isolated — And Thus, Cannot Evolve
Here is a simple analogy. Imagine a planetary rover lands on the north pole of a planet, and the humans controlling it wish to drive to the south pole.
