Ummm… Laminin, for those who are informed by only what televangelists say, also causes congenital muscular dystrophy and progeria, two of the most painful disorders I’m aware of.

As P.Z. Myers has pointed out, the potassium channels in the brain look an awful lot like a swastika.

Does that create a connection between Nazism and molecular biology? No.

The scientific community, it turns out, doesn’t base its fundamental theories based on what structures look like, and that’s why there hasn’t been a mass movement of bio-chemists converting to Christianity.

Hmmm…. I’m getting the impression I phrased the above post rather poorly, the part of the video I was highlighting was mostly the second video at about 5:45. I was merely trying to convey the impression of the sheer massiveness of the universe, but ok…

“Does that create a connection between Nazism and molecular biology? No.”

Did I say that laminin creates a connection between Christianity and molecular biology? Perhaps it does, perhaps it doesn’t, but I didn’t say that.

“….doesn’t base its fundamental theories based on what structures look like…”

I also didn’t say that Christianity bases its fundamental theories on what structures look like. Neither, I believe, did Mr. Giglio. Correct me if I’m wrong, seriously.

That being said, thank you for the comment. You made a very good point which I hope I have addressed to your satisfaction.
