I understand why you brought it up, because you can't answer simple questions about a TATA box.

Actually, I learn a lot exploring the literature. My field is primarily drug discovery - spectroscopy, isolation, characterization of novel compounds - cancer and Hep C. But I'm interested in all science - particularly methodology. Many of the articles which I've read and posted have contributed a great deal to my own knowledge bank. Never stop learning -

You were provided with multiple responses to your "TATA" box questions. I don't think you know one box from another. That said, why don't you explain WHY the responses did not address your question? Take a response - any response - and let's see you analyze it to determine:
1. Why it's wrong
2. How it's wrong
3. How your interpretation and conclusions nullify the results
4. The process by which you came to your conclusions i.e. evidence, your research, your methods
You make a lot of insulting statements and criticisms but never explain why the responses to your "questions" are wrong.
So let's have it - in a concise, orderly, scientific manner -

Nope, you guys have no answers and that's why Barca had to run to his Geneticist friend to try and get them. You're even worse. You don't understand anything you're talking about. You copy and paste things and you don't add any explanation or commentary and you don't even post links to the source material.
You don't even understand what's being said and you can't make a coherent argument about anything. You just copy and paste about DNA self assembly which INTELLIGENCE uses in things like nanoengineering. Bringing up DNA self assembly makes zero sense in the context of this debate and I suspect this is why you just copy and paste because you don't understand the context of the debate.
DNA self assembly actually supports what I'm saying. Listen to this video of Paul Rothemund talking about DNA self assembly.
In the video, he clearly shows how it's INTELLIGENCE that provides the code to build structures they want to get it to build. DNA self assembly builds structures that the sequences encoded with information and the machinery to decode this information tell it to.
This is why you just copy and paste. I don't think you understand the debate. So you can't say, DNA self assembly refutes your argument because it shows there's a magical non living organism that came out of the prebiotic goo that can encode DNA sequences with information and also make the machinery to decode that information.
It's no different than Barcs running to phone a friend or talking about speciation.
It really shows how weak your positions are when you can't answer simple questions about a TATA Box or a CAAT Box.

What??? You said:
And you still refuse to post your evidence - the citations, the massive amount of research that supports your position.
Of course I have and this is why the thread is 40 pages long. This is why you have Barc's running to his Geneticist friend to answer questions that he can't answer. This is why you were here a few pages back copying and pasting the same things and you looked silly then as you look silly now.
I've posted a mountain of evidence that supports my position and sadly for you there's no answers. Maybe Barcs has finally got some answers but it's been several days, so his Geneticist friend must be stumped as well.
Nobody copies and pastes without any explanations or commentary and without links to the source material.

You've dome nothing of the sort. To continue to insist you have makes you a disingenuous liar. You have posted videos of people giving their opinions. That's not evidence and you know that.

Of course I have. This is why you guys keep responding. You can't refute any of the evidence I have presented nor the logic of my argument and that's why you keep responding with incoherent babble. This is why Barcs had to phone a friend to try and get some answers. It's a 40 page thread because you guys can't refute anything that has been said.

No, it's because having the last word requires 0 grey matter. Just a lot of time to waste. Doesn't matter if you actually have something to say, as long as you say it last. Bait thread to the very end.

LOL, I'm wasting so much time and that's why these guys have to run to Geneticists to find answers to simple questions.

No commentary, no context, no links to the source material and no understanding of how to present a coherent argument. This is an idiotic post but I ask the Moderators not to erase it because it proves a point.
I don't just list evidence and say Go Fish. I actually have my own thoughts and I don't just copy and paste things in a vacuum. Like I said, you're either a troll or someone that doesn't have a clue as to what's being debated so you copy and paste without any explanations or commentary.
