I hold onto heredity. Genes must be present in order to be
passed along. This is true. Randomness ignores heredity,
claiming that changes come by chance. Hmm, no, not really. The
changes do come by chance, but the random mutation aspect of it
does not ignore heredity at all. In fact, its an integral part
of the process. You see, we know random mutations happen. They
are errors in the copying process. How do we know they happen?
Because of genetic disorders and how they present. There are
lots of them to chose from. But let me show a little bit about
how it works. Lets say we have a strand of DNA that looks like
this.... There are a few ways we can get things to happen here.
First, we can have a single letter change... for example the
third letter somehow (randomly, by chance. As an error in the
copying process) is changed to a T. Now, when that DNA strand
codes for a protein, (or is part of the on / off sequencing of
the coding), that random mutation gives a certain characteristic
that is different than it wo
