quote:
The foundation of evolution theory, gradual modification over time, slowly transforming genes that already exist, cannot account for so called "orphan genes"......,genes without parents in every taxonomic group studied so far. Looking at it objectively, the theory of evolution has been falsified. You salamanders are still salamanders and there is no evidence that they will ever be anything but salamanders. As Darwin himself pointed out "natural selection can act only by the preservation and accumulation of infinitesimally small inherited modifications, each profitable to the preserved being... If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down."
This is compete nonsense

Nonsense..... because Darwin said it, or because it doesnt mesh with your preconcieved notions? Many Scientist now conclude that many genes must have assembled spontaneously - "de novo". In fact, "all genome and expressed sequence tag (EST) projects to date in every taxonomic group studied so far have uncovered a substantial fraction of genes that are without known homologs [equivalents]. These 'orphans' or 'taxonomically restricted genes' (TRGs) are defined as being exclusively restricted to a particular taxonomic group. "Orphan genes are defined as genes which lack detectable similarity to genes in other species". "They typically make up 10 to 30% of all genes in a genome."41
