"I view the theory of evolution as one possible explanation of how HE did it."

Under Darwin's conception of evolution that's impossible. Darwinian evolution is predicated on random chance mutation as the basis for natural selection. If there is a guiding hand behind "evolution" (ie. theistic evolution) then it is not Darwinism. I personally believe that if we could discover everyting there is to know about DNA we would discover that all the genetic information which ever has or ever will exist has been there from the beginning. If one equates "evolution" as "adaptation" using preexisting genetic information in the environment then that makes perfect sense - God provided from the beginning everything needed for life to adapt and change in the face of a volitile, dynamic environment.

That sentence makes you the enemy of most of the people posting on this thread. Denies the literal truth of Genesis 1:24 (according to them).

“...all the genetic information which ever has or ever will exist has been there from the beginning”.

Interesting hypothesis.

But not all that clear. What do you mean by this?

And how does it fit in or be testable with the subject of the post: that DNA that codes also acts as recognition sites for regulatory molecules?
