Shape, not determined by DNA?

Hello there!To refute evolution, creationist Dr. Zaid Ghazzawi tackled the embryo:He claimed that information for the shape of features/organs (like hands, feet,...) which humans transmit to their offsprings is NOT proven to be stored in DNA.He went as far as stating modern biology hasn't found ANY physical storage for such information. Of course, "lacking" a naturalistic answer, here comes the unsurprising lures of metaphysics: "Angels-did-it!" Please see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th7wr9KMu-II have a too little knowledge on biochemistry, but i suspect there is something wrong in his claim.What do you think of it?Edited by Adminnemooseus, : Touched up formatting, which had been even worse.

The supplied video links to the "new and improved" version":https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8oPrJ6et8kI attempted to watch/listen to the video, and all I got was a greater than normal feeling of cranial numbness.The author does not seem to have a text version available, and I can't see a viable topic coming out of mucking through the video. So I say "no go" on this one.Other admins may feel different.Adminnemooseus

Hi Ganondorf,Threads that begin with a mess end up a mess, and that video is a mess as far as science goes. That DNA is the basis of heredity is universally accepted among both evolutionists and creationists, so this odd Islamic objection must be targeted at an incredibly ignorant audience.If you're interested enough you could interpret and understand the video to the point where you could outline his arguments concerning how DNA does not contain the information that controls development, growth and reproduction in your opening post in a way that makes sense so that the thread could have a clear direction, but short of that I can't recommend promoting this thread.Or, if you're just interested in having someone else interpret the video for you then just post it to the Coffee House forum.
