Creationists: Why is Evolution Bad Science?

Crashfrog could you please tell me what kind of life is void of dna.This message has been edited by Bob, 11-02-2004 08:50 AM

Prions are defective nerve proteins that are created when there is a defect in the DNA of the animal made it. Each triplet of amino acids in the protein could theoretically be decoded back to its DNA sequence. It does replicate but then so does quarts. At least though quarts didn't need DNA in it's beginning. A virus is no less dependent. using its RNA to get a copy of DNA.

The theory that has the strongest backing these days started off as quirky notion put forth by British physicist J.S. Griffith thirty years ago. Over the last ten years Stanley Prusiner at the University of California, has transformed that quirky notion into the scientific mainstream. Prusiner's version of how a proteinaceous infectious particle or PRION as he calls them could work, goes something like this.It turns out that the infectious protein, henceforth to be referred to as "the prion", is a dented version of a normal protein. Its most commonly found tethered to the outside of brain cells. here

As you can see from my post numbers I'm new here, and for that matter to message boards in general. I posted in a dead threadwhen I first got here. It was immediately pointed out to me, but not before Crashfrog answered my post. curiosity got the best of me, so I found him posting this thread and had to ask. very sorry to interrupt.Edited by AdminJar to fix a linkThis message has been edited by AdminJar, 11-02-2004 07:36 PM
