...re-order the bases in a gene and the final desired output will no longer be achieved. - Southack

"Evolution is not goal-oriented. There is no "final desired output". That's why, a number of posts ago, and I'm guessing you simply do not read these posts with comprehension, I stated that software emulating evolution is not like natural selection but more like breeding selection." - Nebullis

Sigh. The final desired output is "life". It does us no good to have DNA self-form naturally (i.e. without intelligent intervention) if it never creates life.

Moreover, we haven't been discussing the limited subset of software that is designed to deliberately emulate evolution, as you imply above, but rather, we've been discussing the fact that human software is analogous to DNA coding.

If there is a problem with reading comprehension or intellectual honesty, then that problem resides with person who made such glaring "errors" that require so many point by point rebuttals from me, as illustrated above, by the way.

I didn't know it was so straightforward! I expect you'll be able to post the fitness function for "life".
