Nope. What this "engineer" of yours is positing is going straight from amino acids to the human DNA strand all in one jump. *That* is statistically virtually impossible. But that's not what happened, anymore than a redwood grows from a seed to a 200-foot-tall behemoth without passing 100 feet on the way.
I always try to get my biological information from engineers. Of course, I have heard it said, by a biologist no less, that since the wings on an airplane don't flap up and down, they can't possible fly
Intelligent as they are, using an engineer as an information source for biology is a logical fallacy called appeal to authority. Don't bet on it.
"True? I don't know. But I know enough that the idea that evolution is somehow a proven fact is nearly as laughable as stating that the Earth orbits the moon. Mathematically, since all things in the universe are relative, this can be shown, but that doesn't make it so.
Strictly, the Earth does orbit the moon as the moon orbits the Earth. You can prove it to yourself with a little experiment. Take a short stick, say .5m long. On that stick affix a weight on one end. Now take another weight twice as heavy as the first and stick it on the other end. Tie a string to the stick close to the heavier weight and move the string until the two weights are level. Start the weights spinning around the string and you will notice an exaggerated example of the relationship between the earth and the moons orbits. In this case you can believe your eyes.
