However, you are assuming a lot for genes in the case of the bacterial flagellum. Genes cannot change themselves.

What are you talking about? My post addressed the issue that intelligence was required to manufacture stone tools, and that this information had to be passed on through education...not genetics.

Yes, but your reference addressed that because it was not genetic, intelligence was determined. I do not see any difference why the same assumptions cannot be made when genes are involved and that is what I was addressing.
