DNA Recombination

by MikeGene

DNA is so beautifully predisposed to recombine:

    Hi Mike,

    Please check out Microtubules and Cellular Division

    Hi TP,

    Great video! As I mentioned before, (IMO) the weak-link here seems to be that MT's are not biological universals. This is not to deny any role for MTs, but there might be more juicy candidates. In fact, I'll try to put together a posting that might raise further intriguing possibilities for your ideas.

    BTW, would you like me to include your blog on our blogroll?

    Hi Mike,

    You asked…

    BTW, would you like me to include your blog on our blogroll?

    Thank you. Please do.

    (I suppose that means I have to keep it up now) :neutral:

    P.S. Please feel free to copy the videos and put them on Telic Thoughts.

    Since I made this offer to TP, I should spread the good cheer around. We were going to add Michael Behe's blog to our blogroll and remove Dualistic Dissension (since it is no longer active). So now is a good time for any other changes. If you have a blog that frequently addresses Intelligent Design (from whatever angle), simply submit your suggestion below and the contributors will decide among themselves whether they want to include it. Just don't take offense if we don't include it, as it's just a squishy subjective call on a rather obscure blog.

    My intent for putting the videos up was for you to use. I think the next step is to put together a multi-media presentation attempting to make the case for quantum mechanics in life.

    If it isn't obvious, I feel microtubules is only one aspect. DNA and (with the recent discovery) photosynthesis also is controlled by quantum mechanics. I look forward to hearing your "intriguing possibilities".

    Thanks Mike.

    Here's my blog. I don't cover ID much, but I talk a lot about the sociology of science and the proper practice of science. I'll let you guys hash out whether it is relevant for TT or not. . .
