TOO BAD DARWIN, CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR

n the 1800's Darwin rocked the world with his theory of evolution e.g. natural selection.

A little known study in the 1970's called epigenetics has revealed that our physical characteristics can be changed, not over millions of years, but within a generation by a process known as gene switching, meaning the gene can be turned on and off by influences in the environment such as climate, food supplies, stress etc.

Every cell in our bodies contain 25,000 genes called our genome. Chemicals , vitamins , drugs,radiation,etc. can cause genes to be silent and inactive; further this change can be replicated in successive generations.

According to an article by Bill Sardi,"From the Garden of Eden to Galapagos and Back" www.LewRockwell.com 3/24/2010:

There are two ways genes can be regulated, by donation of methyl groups, provided in foods, or by the wrapping of strings of DNA around something called histone bodies, as demonstrated in the following graphic. A methyl group is a basic unit in organic chemistry: one carbon atom attached to three hydrogen atoms. When a methyl group attaches to a specific spot on a gene – a process called DNA methylation – it can change the gene's expression, turning it on or off. Methyl groups are obtained entirely as nutrients from foods people eat (folic acid/vitamin B9, vitamin B12, vitamin A, trace minerals such as selenium and zinc, and the amino acid methionine).

So what did Charles Darwin conclude from his observations of life on the isolated Galapagos islands. Changes in species, he assumed had taken eons to accomplish, such as the shape of bills on finches.

This work is discredited in modern work such as "Evolution by epigenesis: farewell to Darwinism, neo- and otherwise", where in Eugene Balon wrote:

In the last 25 years, criticism of most theories advanced by Darwin and the neo-Darwinians has increased considerably, and so did their defense. Darwinism has become an ideology, while the most significant theories of Darwin were proven unsupportable. The critics advanced other theories instead of 'natural selection' and the 'survival of the fittest'. … Darwinians, artificially kept dominant in academia and in granting agencies, are preventing their (other theories) acceptance. Epigenesis, the mechanism of ontogenies, creates in every generation alternative variations in a … way that enables organisms to survive in the changing environments.

All the hoopla about the missing link and the evolution of man from some primeval ooze is just nonsense and survival of the fittest and natural selection can be put on the shelf as psuedo-science and totally discredited.
