Re: Some answers
You ask;
Is that sufficient?
No, it's not.
This is a science forum. You are expected to base your arguments upon the kind of evidence that a scientist might recognise. "It says so in my holy book." doesn't cut it, not least because it says something completely different in someone else's favourite holy book.

Re: Some answers
This website is called 'creation vs evolution'. Has that occurred to you? DO you even think about where you are right now? So if you don't wish to encounter discussion about the Creator then you better look elsewhere because that is the main topic of this website.
It's not that. It's more that "It says so in a book" is not recognised as scientific evidence and this happens to be a science forum. If you must drag your imaginary friend into it, you would be better off in the "Faith and Belief" forums.
You are more than entitled to your religious views, but pretending that they are science isn't going to cut it.
'My holy book' also happens to be the historical account of the creation, fall of man, the incarnation of God's Son, and the redemption of mankind by Him. Like it or not, the symbol of the crucified One is on every single cell in your body.
Just this morning though, I found a grilled cheese sandwich with the face of Richard Dawkins on it...
Now try and tell me that Laminin is not scientific.
Laminin is neither scientific nor non-scientific. It's just laminin. It's what you do with the observation that makes it science.
"Laminin-looks-a-bit-like-a-cross-so-Jesus-is-Lord!" is about as far away from science as it's possible to get without actually turning into Deepak Chopra.
