You didn't try anything but making some emptyheaded claims that you are
unwilling to substantiate. And that's all you ever do.

I'm not a believer.

If you aren't willing to substantiate your claims then don't make them.
We're supposedly suppose to take your word that DNA can be divided out
according to proteins and that the results will confirm the validity of
HR? For all species? In all instances? That's pure insanity? And
what's your basis, where's your data that supports this? You have
none.
