<<And in dinoflagellates it’s even worse. The genes are again split into fragments—pieces are just like you would take scissors and cut them and paste them together. >>

Yea, apparently the author is as much as 50 years behind those that actually understand this stuff:

Do a websearch for something like "genes Cut and Paste" and you'd know... I know that's kinda tough for you wackos... so here... "cut and paste" was also known as "jumping genes" or "transposable elements":

<<Transposable elements, or "jumping genes", were first identified by Barbara McClintock more than 50 years ago. Why are transposons so common in eukaryotes, and exactly what do they do?>>

Course if it makes you feel good to post stuff where no one will actually answer I guess that's a nice self validating strategy.

Interestingly you claim the opposite of what you actually do... and THEN admit it in the same sentance!!

<I seek out people who don't agree with me. I'm comfortable with my beliefs.>>

You actually have this backwards and quite convoluted, but it's an interesting admission of your shortcomings:

It should state: You are not only blithely comfortable... but also LOCKED INTO your own beliefs.... THEN You constantly post self validating crap to those (that you seek out) with differing views!!!

Man, it's amazing how you perceive your intellectual shortcomings as strengths...
