Another stunnig article from Mike GENE.. He hunts ”the Duck” again..
Mike GENE
Back around 2002, I noted that the genetic code appears to funnel one of the most common base pair substitutions, the C-to-T transitions caused by deamination of the cytosine. Put simply, codons containing a C specified a wide range of amino acids, but when that C is converted to T, the new set of codons all converge on the most hydrophobic amino acids. The original analysis is found here.
To see this for yourself, the figure below represents a hydrophobicity scale for the 20 amino acids based on 47 published attempts to quantify hydrophobicity:

Now consider the effect of cytosine deamination using this scale:

Scale on left are the amino acids coded for by C-containing codons which is converted to scale on right by the deamination of those cytosines.

This book is the one of the best crtical thinking over blind Darwinism. It has very clear expression on what is the evolution of Darwin. The book tells us our misunderstandings (I mean for those who are out of field ) and even expert scientists misleadings about evolution and why evolution codes may mean very different things in social life. Especially on these days on Darwın 200 this book must be re-examined by all of whom are interested in evolution and Darwin. Gould draws interesting picture for layman about evolution with words of related evo-sciences.
It is a sure thing that Darwin was a great scientist who formulized the grey scale rules in nature to form designs .What matters here, this is design by chance or design by intelligence . As it seen pure ” Chance” has potential to form something but to do this, chance needs potential in matter to expose design or design -like features (it is meaningles to ping if there is no responder) which must be pre-loaded inside to unpack later in process of evolution and serve as the modulator of the consistency and the stability of gene pool to its habitat.

What has fins like a whale, skin like a lizard, and eyes like a moth? The future of engineering.
By Tom Mueller
One cloudless midsummer day in February, Andrew Parker, an evolutionary biologist, knelt in the baking red sand of the Australian outback just south of Alice Springs and eased the right hind leg of a thorny devil into a dish of water. The maneuver was not as risky as it sounds: Though covered with sharp spines, the lizard stood only about an inch high at the shoulder, and it looked up at Parker apprehensively, like a baby dinosaur that had lost its mother. It seemed too cute for its harsh surroundings, home to an alarmingly high percentage of the world’s most venomous snakes, including the inland taipan, which can kill a hundred people with an ounce of its venom, and the desert death adder, whose name pretty well says it all. Fierce too is the landscape itself, where the wind hissing through the mulga trees feels like a blow dryer on max, and the sun seems three times its size in temperate climes. Constant reminders that here, in the driest part of the world’s driest inhabited continent, you’d better have a good plan for where your next drink is coming from.
