I doubt this would scale up well. Making a protein is one thing.
Making a protein in just the right way to be included in a spleen (or
something) is something else. Of course, I don't know what I'm talking
about, but what better way to learn than to post hazy thoughts here and
get shot down.

Saying "the designer used the same materials" is not good science, but
it's still an adequate explanation for similar creatures having similar
functional genes. There are many other observations that destroy ID in
favor of evolution, but I don't think this is among them.
