It appears that civil discourse is in not a trait I can expect here. In my last two comments, I have repeatedly requested that if you disagree with me, do not be disagreeable. Alas, no seems to read or heed those requests. Without answering anyone in particular: genetic modification by humans is intelligent design; designing a program is intelligent design; explaining away the fossil record is denial; the presence of a fossil record is not supportive; the presence of a genome is not supportive; common descent is not supportive; and 3 seemingly beneficial mutations in 31500 generations that leave e. coli as e. coli should raise major issues about macro-evolution and should not be considered supportive; and they should raise questions about the length of time necessary for fortuitous accidents to occur to non-bacteria before time runs out; finally, the original cell’s having all the necessary hardware which has remained unchanged poses major problems, etc.

One correction - I said 20 proteins. I meant 20 amino acids.
