It is only by presuming they are unchanged that I can reach certain tentative conclusions about their condition then.

So please, lets not mince words here.-My observations came first, and faith second. I can see, at this stage of our knowledge, no other mechanism that will work in the way we observe evolution to proceed. I'm not mincing words. I've made a theoretical choice, because I choose to, rather than sit on a fence. I may well be wrong, but if I can live long enough, I think my approach will be justified.

> Again, if epigenetics are the cause of evolution, we will be able to demonstrate that evolution happens with no stimulus at all. -Not so. The epigenetic mechanisms generally provide rapid adaptation to onerous stimuli. The genetic changes are inheritable, so that a series of environmental challenges could produce a new species thru epigenetics.

I can't explain the Cambrian Explosion just on oxygen increase. The oxygen allowed the genome to perform and create new organs and organisms. Again, all my theory of the past 10 years, and the new discoveries seem to keep on confirming more and more of it.
