Butterfly metamorphosis reveals that DNA has no control over cellular processes
Metamorphosis of insects, especially fantastic butterflies, is a nightmare for evolutionists. A more detailed examination of the mechanisms of metamorphosis also points out that metamorphosis can not be evolved. Metamorphosis also helps scientists to understand what is DNA's role in the cell and how the cell uses DNA at different stages of metamorphosis.The butterfly, as in most insects, has four different stages; the egg, caterpillar, pupa and adult. In all four phases, DNA of the insect is exactly the same. So how is it possible that the same genes have four completely different forms? If the DNA dictated the phenotype of the organism, the insect form change would not occur. There is therefore another information layer controlling the DNA. This information layer on and outside the DNA is called epigenetic information. ('Epi' is Greek and means 'on top of'.)
Epigenetic factors and mechanisms include, for example, DNA methylation profiles, non-coding RNA molecules, transcription factors, and in particular chemical markers of histones, which serve as a biological database. Histone epigenetic markers, known for many different types of chemical markers, guide and control how actively certain areas of DNA are read and when. Thus, the cell selects DNA sequences as needed into transcription. In the insect transformation, it is important to have a precise timing and this is accurately regulated by the histone markers. The timing of DNA reading is influenced by, for example, nutrition as well as various growth factors from which cells receive information via RNA molecules.
The butterfly metamorphosis is the best example of how the cell utilizes passive DNA to produce active RNA molecules. DNA does not control cellular processes and does not dictate the appearance or behavior of the organism. DNA is controlled by epigenetic factors and mechanisms.
Due to its passive nature, mutations in DNA do not lead to any evolution because the cell is capable, under the control of epigenetic mechanisms, to select the most suitable DNA sequences for use. If the DNA sequence had an error or a wrong dinucleotide, the cell at the RNA level may still be capable of several complex repair and editing activities before the final RNA product is manufactured. For evolution to occur, there should happen tens or probably hundreds of simultaneous information increasing events in the cells, especially in germ cells, that would result in controlled change in the entire epigenetic regulatory system. This is impossible and has never been observed. Therefore, there is no evolution. We can observe the controlled epigenetic adaptation of food and other environmental factors in organisms, but it is always based on carefully regulated mechanisms. New biological information that would lead to the growth of functional or structural complexity would not come to organisms. As we can still observe the corruption and disappearance of biological information, it is clear that there is no mechanism for evolution. And because there is no evidence of the alleged evolution of butterfly fossil record, it also confirms our understanding that evolutionary theory is the most serious heresy of our time.
