In our experience, what cause generates conditional logic circuits, and then what cause re-uses those algorithmic programs over and over in different systems? Source

Recurring Design Logic in Attenuation Mechanisms

amino acids, Arginine, attenuation, biology, biosynthesis, blind processes, design logic, DNA, Engineering, enzymes, Evolution, genes, hairpin, histidine, homology, Intelligent Design, leader transcript, mRNA, operon regulation, operons, phenylalanines, prokaryotes, recurring design logic, regulation, Ribosome, RNA polymerase, transcription, translation, tryptophan, unguided processes
Despite the striking parallels between these systems in terms of the design logic, these attenuation systems are not evolutionarily related to one another. Source

That is no way to reason about science. Yet many biology textbooks, in explaining evolution, do the same thing, perpetuating an error that goes back to Darwin. Source
