Hi TB:
You've been on about the protein family thing as being a falsification of evolution and support for ID for awhile now. I'm not really sure I follow your reasoning. Could you elucidate a bit?
Since the requirement is (apparently) that novel protein families are necessary for the differentiation of various taxa (and consequently their absence is indicative of the barrier to macroevolution), can you indicate which specific "families" distinguish, f'rinstance, arthropods from chordates? What happens to your theory when families are seen across taxa? Wouldn't that be an indication that the taxa are related somehow? Anyway, I'd appreciate a fuller explanation of the barrier you've postulated (now that I have some time to actually respond to you
). Thanks.
