UNRAVELING THE GENETIC CODE: BEYOND THE DNA MYSTERIES

[the speaker is Dr. Tom Cowan.  His site, The Way Forward @ thewayfwrd.com is currently down for maintenance.]

Genes.  So supposedly, the way it works is you got this DNA and it's divided into segments, right?  The particular segments have start and stop codes, and they're called genes and they code for proteins.  The way they do that is they make mRNA in the nucleus.  It goes out of the nucleus and goes to the imaginary ribosomes in the cytoplasm and then it gets translated into proteins.  I already know there are problems with that because a) I know there's no such thing as a ribosome, b) I know there is no hole in the nucleus, and c) they also tell us that one gene codes for one protein.  And there are approximately 100 to 200,000 proteins and there are only 10 to 20,000 genes, which either means that geneticists are not good at arithmetic, or the whole thing is a bunch of hooey.
