" A hidden code linked to DNA of plants allows them to develop and pass down new biological traits far more rapidly than previously thought". This is a quote from the Salk Institute for biological studies. They say this code most likely exists in mammals and humans.
What this means, as far as I can determine according to the article (link below), is that genes themselves are not the final determination of what kind of person you will be. There are chemical switches attached to genes that turns them off and on related to what the organism will need to survive in a new environment.
This enables change in a species much faster than Darwin perceived and may account for the sudden appearance in evolution such as eyes,wings etc. It also accounts for the lack of fossil evidence of animals that evolved halfway, the missing links.
My question is: how do these switches know to do this? How, if they are just mindless ,random chemicals interacting, do they know to do this without some intelligence intervening.
