In passing, I'd like to add something to your statement, which I'm sure you will approve of! As far as I can make out, epigenetics only covers adaptation – just as you have said yourself. Adaptation on its own is not enough to account for new organs and species (though as both Tony and Darwin often point out, it's very hard to define "species"). There has to be innovation as well. Perhaps – just perhaps – epigenetics may shed light on this too, but whatever the mechanism, it has to increase the odds against chance.

Exactly what my book predicted will happen. As chance disappears God appears.
