Genome complexity: A code within a code? (Introduction)

Tony: This was a truly amazing article. There is so much in it to pick from that it is hard to know where to start. One point that really piqued my interest is in the comment responses where there is a link to a study showing that the age of the gene is irrelevant. Even 'young' genes are absolutely necessary for life.

> David: My point has always been how much complexity do you need before one recognizes it has to have been designed? With all the interlocking parts, it cannot be done one step at a time.-And I certainly agree with that. Interestingly, if you say "it cannot be done one step at a time", that precludes most definitions of evolution, and certainly precludes common descent.
