Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fishalt" data-source="post: 130806" data-attributes="member: 228">You still don't get it.Nobody is saying that environments write DNA. What we're saying is that genetic mutations (which are changes in DNA, something else you don't seem to be able to grasp) write DNA,  and these are tested by the environment, and they either work or they don't. If they don't, these changes disappear from reality. If they do, they persist, and generally accentuate. Or not. It depends.These mutations might be slight or extreme. There are point mutations, number variations in genes and insertions and deletions and all manner of shit. These mutations are random. Whether they persist or not in the gene pool/ morphology etc et al is not random. Those 19th century ideas are as valid as ever. The theory which is observed by Darwin is observable now. The only difference is that we understand the nuts and bolts a lot better.So no. Nature cannot "Only act on existing traits". Nature can quite literally create new ones. And does.You have no idea what you're talking about, Tiger. This is fairly typical of creationists.</blockquote>
