Re: Any SOLID arguments against evolution?

... dipole-dipole bonds. Most amino acids are made of hydrogen bonds, with one end being acid H+ and the other basic OH-. This why they bond through dehydration synthesis--the H+ and the OH- bond to make H2O and making the carboxl and the ammonium ends to bond. However if in a random structure dipole-dipole ...
