JQ: ----How many times do I have to spell it out? Reguardless of external

Yep.

JQ: time the DNA is copied each base pair can be mutated. If your going to
play russian roulette you have to keep playing it. The body doesn't sense

Huh ? Russian roulette ?

JQ: that something usefull is starting to be created! It's totally random

Nope, the body does not know what will happen in the future.

JQ: reguardless. Going another generation just exposes the genetic code
to

Yep, the mutation is random but if the mutation has an effect natural
selection can act on it. If the mutation is neutral it can still provide
for future effects.

JQ: another round of random genetic mutations! The logic goes more easily
towards random since it is a RANDOM PROCESS.

Nope, mutation is the random process, natural selection is the
deterministic process. You cannot ignore the deterministic process in
evolution and claim that it is totally random, since it isn't.

JQ: I really do think you need to visit a biochemistry textbook. Don't
tell me you think the moth example has anything to do with mutations,
welcome to the 90's. This is so obvious I will let it be.

Perhaps it is time for you to check out this library you so proudly
refered to.

You claimed:

JQ: Isn't there at at least a 'hidden' genetic code that would finally
be expressed in the past 1000's of years?

To which I responded: Check out for instance the peppered moth.
