It strikes me as strong evidence for a creator if similar functions are performed by similar molecules in distinct but similar animal/plant groups. E.g. I used TTL in the earliest computer interfaces I worked on, and I used LSTTL in the most recent. That doesn't mean the boards share a common ancestor ( :-) ) but a common creator. Why is it reasonable to assume a creator would come up with a workable molecular system, such as the proteins and DNA/RNA and then not use it every place he/she/it could? Rich Hammond
