Third, we need clear, readily comprehensible articles on [[molecular biology]] and [[biochemistry]]. Our readers should not have to go find a basic biochemistry text to find out whether our article is correct or misleading. Have you read anything by [[Michael Behe]]? Try to write as clearly as he does. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 07:32, 28 May 2007 (EDT)

:My submission is good enough to have been published as a co author of a textbook on molecular genetics. This article was about gene expression not genes themselves. There was already another article about genes. I hate to say this but once you start going into this level of detail you have to assume the reader has a basic knowledge of cellular biology. Nothing that was written was beyond a current American High School AP biology class.
:If you wanted the article shorter how could a description of DNA and Genes be introduced when the article was too long as it was, with just a description of gene expression. I never even go so far as to explain protein formation from the expressed genes.
:Ed, there is no evolution advocacy on gene expression, all of what was described has been seen in the lab. We have seen the interaction between DNA and the protein complexes that make RNA from it. There is a difference between theory and fact, gene expression is a pure fact. You can not list what the proteins do that are formed through the expressed genes without describing the gene expression process to begin with. There is no speculation on the molecular and chemical interaction that produces gene expression, it has been observed countless times. If you really need me to describe how we observe it I will but this is far from "speculation".
:Ed, as for finding a basic biochem text to verify our articles, well what else would they use to verify an article about biochemistry? Just because the article is dumbed down does not mean that it is correct, in fact it is usually the inverse. Last thing, no one has established what base education our readers may have so it is a moot point to dumb down articles when an undergrad may use the information.--[[User:Tims|TimS]] 07:26, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
