Snort. Yeah, got to love the logic of these people. One babbles about 
"front loading", claiming that it contains all the "patterns" for all 
future animals (never mind the fundamental contradictions with actual 
facts of what "is" in the code), but you can find similar fools babbling 
about how "impossible" it is for humans to be "formed" purely via the 
active genes in the human genome, in that, "Its just not enough of them!!!"
