Despite your poorly worded question, I think you are trying to ask if DNA refutes the idea of natural selection and evolution, right? I think DNA, if anything, supports the idea of evolution. In my simple understanding of evolution, I was able to take 1 protein from a turtle, human, lizard, snake, rat, monkey (using a protein/DNA sequence database, www.pubmed.com), and find how how different they are. By using the accepted rate of mutation (1 base pair of DNA per million years), you can actually figure out how long ago did the species diverge simply based on random mutations. By doing this, I made the evolutionary timeline that you see in textbooks all the time. So in a way, I “proved” evolution by just doing something anybody can do with the resources available to me. The part that I skip over in this program is that when a mutation is “bad” (something that would make it less likely to survive), that animal dies off. Therefore, only “good” mutations will persist. So when Watson and Cr
