Oh, Good God. This has gotten too ludicrous. YES, THERE IS EVER REASON TO "RULE IT OUT" that you can change the coats of goats from spotted to stripped (or whatever it was) in a single generation by showing their parents a bunch of sticks. Are you crazy?
Again, why? We know the components for single-generation germ-line change in animals exist. We know that some changes can be influenced by the environment. Please give a reason, either theoretical or experimental, why these kinds of changes cannot happen in concert.
I don't think he's crazy, I think you are talking past each other.
The Genesis text about the breeding indicated that the peeled switches by the watering troughs got the animals horny, so they mated.
I never read the passage as indicating that the switches themselves affected the coloration of the offspring.
Try luck, divine providence, or paint.
Cheers!
