lets say i have a .2 similarity in dna to an armadillo what exactly does that mean it means that me and an armadillo share a same genetic trait whether its pores or brain functions now if im similar to an armadillo in dna does that mean we evolved frin armadillo to humans no it means that structures such as pores carry a dna equivalent when matched with physical structure. in other words when i have the same structure in pores as a monkey it isnt because we evolved its because i have the same pore structure as a monkey if you get what im saying.

So you seem to argue that "atavism" is just deformity and not a throw-back at all?
Fair enough, however I'd love to see what the scientists say who've defined "atavism".

im saying that its more than likely means we didnt evolve at all but may have the some of the same physical structure which means the same dna structure what comes first the physical structure or the blood?

you think blood cells evolved thats basically stating that the dna changed and we came from a later species such as a monkey but you can see its theory. pure speculation when you have supposedly multiple species that have different attributes found in humans it just means that we have multiple structures that can be found in these animals. they are similar in structure and thats all that that means it doesnt mean we evolved they hold these structures lets say lymphocytes and they would be close to our lymphcells in physical structure and thus would hold the same dna structure in the double helix.

DNA does change.
Yes, evolution is a theory, pure speculation it is not.
I don't understand why you think having the same traits in different animals means DNA can't change.
If DNA couldn't change we would all be the same..

genetics can only go back so far genetics are passed down through parent to offspring if my eyes are brown do they randomly one day turn green. no they do not how does one evolve if the genetic traits are only passed down so far how would ones tail disappear. they have sex with there own species you dont hear about chimpanzeez making lpve to orrangutangs do you so exactly how are they supposed to get a shorter tail if genteics are passed down from the parent to the offspring.
