Re: [asa] Amazing Proteins

So what is your point of your essay other than pointing out that
proteins play an important role in life on this world. As you pointed
out there was an RNA world, and perhaps even a lipid world where
evolution was extremely successful. Now an interesting question would
be: If the tape were replayed, would evolution follow a similar path.
And yet I still wonder as to what the essay is all about? That a
blind watchmaker is the best explanation although there is still some
possibility for a seeing watchmaker at the beginning?

I also would like to repeat my question to you and others

But you still have not answered by question. How do we turn this into
a scientifically relevant position? How would ID explain all this? If
I understand your position correctly you hold that at a particular
instance in time we face a set of initial conditions that led to
present day situation. Your argument is that perhaps the initial
conditions were set up for evolution to be successful? That is an
interesting idea but unnecessary at best and scientifically irrelevant
lest we can argue why there is a non natural requirement for the
initial conditions to have existed.
