No, it can’t.
Provide one experimental example.
Experimental example:
Since evolution depends on massive experimentation by the gene pool to accidentally invent superior modifications that give survival advantages to the million to one “lucky chimpanzee typed” DNA sequences, every living organism that has the luck of a bad sequence will to varying degrees die off.
Statically those two extreme rule sets encompass the entire theory of the evolutionary theroy. But as there is no Creator allowed in the equation. The overwhelming majority of DNA experiments that have no direct effect should be in evidence as the theroy postulates survival must blindly choose.
Look in nature, clearly there is NO evidence of a massive amount of useless random vestigial DNA experiments hanging off of every organism as DNA mindlessly experiments trying to stumble onto a software upgrade.
Experincial evidence 2:
As modern science grows in understanding we now know that even the tiniest error in a single DNA sequence can disrupt many interlinking genetic processes. This clearly demonstrates that DNA instability is suicide for organisms.
If the postulations of 18th century science were correct in that organisms were experimenting with DNA gene sequence modifications, it would cause a far higher than a thousand to one still birth ratio. That is 1000 still births to a single live birth. Genetic suicide.
In the 18th century we had a simplistic viewpoint of machines being built from plans. In the 21st century we understand software, whereas the plans are of an active process.
The difference is obvious with a little thought. If your plans are describing simple machine parts, a bigger leg or a smaller eye, so what. But if they are all describing a biochemical whole, then a bigger cog, or a crossed wire and the machine as a whole is not different IT’S FUNCTION and it’s relation to different FUNCTIONS is different. Just like software, a single error in sequence and the whole inter relationship fails.
The entire system must function for the machine to biochemically bootup. Any sequence deviation kills the organism at a million to one rate. DNA stability is critical to survival, indeed the interlocking biological interdependence serves as a checksum to defend the DNA from functional errors being passed on.
In short, what we now know about DNA and how it functions precludes virtually any chance for evolution.
The heck with transitional fossils, where are the five legged blind dogs or feathered snails? There is no evidence of experimental organisms in nature.
DNA is inherently stable, not inherently unstable in nature.
