Wow. This guy was bang on. No wonder you guys got rid of him LOL
​
I thought it appropriate to reproduce the original post, as I back it up 100%. The evidence for an intelligent origin of proteins is the same as the evidence for the intelligent origin of the nucleotide sequence on the original DNA/RNA.
​
A God-of-the-Gaps fallacy is not evidence.

This person chose the shortest protein string that he was aware of.
​
This person never demonstrated that the first life had proteins. Perhaps you should start there.
​
This is to PREVENT cherry-picking, and show a CONSERVATIVE estimate of the chances of a protein forming by undirected causes.
​
The protein he is pointing to is the product of billions of years of evolution. Furthermore, he never demonstrated that this protein is needed if abiogenesis does occur.
