Talk:Functional genetic sequences are too rare to have evolved from one another (Talk.Origins)

Are proteins clustered?
...there is no reason to suppose that functional sequences are evenly distributed among the non-functional sequences...

Is there any reason to suppose the contrary either? Is there anything about the relationship of nucleotides to proteins that suggests that they are clustered rather than randomly distributed?

I agree that the claim was made by an ID theorist rather than a creationist, but it seems to me to be a valid point against evolution. Oelphick 17:15, 4 September 2006 (CDT) ---
