Evolutionary Agenda vs True Science
Evolution believers use the same arguments by which they try to maintain their pseudoscientific theory. Here we compare those typical arguments and claims with serious scientific observations regarding organismal change and what it results in.

Organisms change due to random genetic mutations. Natural selection means survival of the fittest. This means that individuals having the best characteristics and traits regarding adaptational needs will be better able to reproduce. This results in the trait being more common in population. Change happens slowly, after millions of years.
An example: Mutations in Darwin's finches have driven some of them to seed eaters, others to insect eaters etc.
|
Organisms change due to epigenetic regulation. There is no need for changes in DNA in order to the organism being able to adapt to changing environment. Change is based on coded epigenetic mechanisms: signals, encoding, decoding, responses, regulation. These changes are inheritable but they are dynamic and reversible.
An example: When Darwin's finches start to eat seeds, the nutritional compounds affect the birds' epigenome that transmit signals to their cells. This will result in changes in their cellular epigenetic mechanisms and factors. Change occurs rapidly, just in a couple of generations. Offspring will have stronger beaks.

Mechanisms of evolution: Random mutations and Natural selection.
|
Random mutations are results of genetic entropy. They are not beneficial alterations but harmful changes that lead to genetic load. There are 1,134,942 harmful genetic mutations in human genome worldwide but the number of fully beneficial mutations is 0.

|
Speciation is evolution.
|
The most significant mechanisms behind speciation are alternative splicing and RNA-editing. There's no need for DNA changes in order to have new species. Speciation is nothing more but variation within basic groups (kinds) of organisms.
|
|
DNA controls cellular mechanisms.
|
Epigenetic mechanisms control reading (transcription), marking (methylation), repair and even writing to DNA. Specific enzymes such as APOBEC3 and A3G are capable of editing DNA bases along to adaptational needs.
|
|
DNA dictates organismal traits and characteristics.
|
Because virtually every cell in an organism contains the same DNA, then there has to be another information layer that controls cellular differentiation, tissue type, organ function and body plan. This regulatory information layer is called epigenetic mechanisms and factors.
