Perry - All of Cofty's posts have many links to scholarly research. You could spend a bit of time reading them...
Or you could keep on mashing the keyboard with your head and hope enough of the resulting mess of characters will somehow cause the reader's mind to melt.

"One of the problems is that you lack knowledge of the most basic science so describing complex stuff..." - Cofty
Well considering that he uses words like "liquefies" and "goo" to describe this process I would suggest that you are correct in your assumption.
Perry - Perhaps you should pray for enlightenment! That should work...

Nimble Duck -
The responses you are getting are for the benefit of those lurkers who might otherwise think your nonsense has some merit. You, yourself, are not worthy of a response because you are close minded, relying as you do on creationist lies...
As an aside, it really is difficult to distinguish between an honest straight up creationist and a Poe. No matter how hard a Poe tries to strain the boundaries of credibility there will always be a real creationist ready to take it a step further.
i intend for this to be one of a series of bite-sized ops on the evidence for evolution.. introduction to dna genes are sequences of dna made up of words (codons) each of which are three letters (bases) long.
there are only four letters in the genetic alphabet (acg&t) each word or codon is the recipe for one amino acid.
there are 20 different amino acids in living organisms.
It's only sounds like "high sounding blather" to you because you haven't the knowledge to understand what is being said.

"Me thinks "theory" is the right word and it was applied correctly" - Nimble Duck
Do you think that may be because you are not aware that words have different definitions in science and other specialist fields. Have a look at this word: nomenclature. Google it...
After that google supposition...
Then look up what or means.
Are you a Perry clone? He always shoots himself in the foot with his links too!

"How is that different than what we all did with the WT's "research" at one time?" - Perry
Perry this is yet another one of those comments from you that demonstrates your utter lack of knowledge on these subjects... Why?
The reason is that someone who accepts the consensus of the scientific community and communicates that with other people (like Cofty does) is standing on the shoulders of many a scientist who has either researched these topics directly or cross referenced the original research with their own related research or been given insight to their own fields of research in unrelated fields (from reading or hearing about the original research) or has simply read the research and agreed that the methods used allow for the conclusions given.
Whereas the WTBTS literature is sourced from 1 source: the Governing Body. There is no review process involved to ensure that you are getting an accurate portrayal of the 'facts' they have given you.
Also Cofty makes the valid point that if this chemistry professor really wants to learn (rather than simply engage in logical fallacies) they would speak to the relevant researchers. This ploy to ask him to speak to this professor smacks of Kent Hovind's challenge to prove evolution. Hovind set the list of what he considers to be evidence in such a way as to make the challenge impossible. So on the surface it appears a reasonable proposition (and is touted as such by people like you) but when you look at it you see it is dishonest. This professor is the same because he expects to have all his questions answered rather than discuss all the evidence for evolution (why can't this professor explain what all the evidence shows if evolution is not true).
However, it is quite clear that these challenges are not meant to be legitimate ways of getting to the truth but rather quite clever ways of keeping people like yourself riding high on your wave of theological truths. I'm also sure that it doesn't harm their book and DVD sales either...

I think this Professor has set things up so that if you cannot answer everything then he feels there is no reason to accept evolution. That's not honest and is certainly not a trait one would expect from someone who is a professor...

Perry presents (or rather copy and pastes some else's work...) the we don't know everything therefore we know nothing argument. Utterly pathetic Perry.
I would imagine all scientists would like to know, would sincerely like to know everything but of course they have to work hard to gather information to improve their knowledge instead of behaving like this individual.
Again Perry, educate yourself so you might have a chance of understanding why these arguments you present are moronic.
i would really like to read the thoughts of an evolutionist as they lie on their deathbed.
their "honest to nogod" thoughts.
their terrors.
What is your motive/objective? - deegee
This duck's motive is simply that it is impotent with regards to offering a constructive critique of opposing views and that it is trying to defend the indefensible. Expect more projection and name calling soon...
