Again, the creature dies. and no further progress is made on the clotting process. Lastly, the trigger mechanism shouldn't work unless needed otherwise the same result would occur, death. One failure in any of these steps would have the same result. All three processes need to develop simultaneously and completely without failure. I just don't see evolution supporting this process.
Alas, I see a hole in your argument; you are looking at the current state of a mechanism, removing a feature and seeing that it fails, then proposing that the mechanism couldn't have developed. I think all that you have demonstrated is that it didn't follow that specific path. Along this same line watching the news of late I find I have more in common genetically with a male chimp than I do with the lady working down the hall, how is that for irony? I suspect she might agree... Anyway, let’s go back to string theory, it may not be enough of an explanation to really qualify as a theory yet, but it is interesting.
