Once again you seem to think “epigenetics” is some magic code word that saves you from evolution and random mutation.
Got a source for your preposterous assertion? If mutations are not random then it should be easy to show that they are not. Strangely enough every experiment on mutation shows that they ARE random.
Do you think God has no control over “random” processes? You think HIS power stops at the casino door? That either something is under the control of God or it is random? Many processes in life and physics are random, this in no way indicates that God in not in control.

Many processes in life and physics are random, this in no way indicates that God in not in control. It really makes no difference whether mutations are REALLY random or just seemingly random. They supply the stock of variations, and the range of observed variations covers the gamut of possible alleles. This is an observation based on numerous experiments.
It makes no difference whether some invisible entity is shading the dice. The results are indistinguishable from random.
What isn't random is the effect that alleles have on individuals and their reproductive success.

Face it allmendream, Darwinism is entering into its final death-rattle. Epigenetics is just one of many lines of evidence that gives the lie to Darwin's fanciful creation myth. Indeed, the only people who believe in magic are those who think Darwinism will survive the growing onslaught of falsifying scientific evidence.
