Re: No facts?
His theory IS attempting to explain facts. The facts of how organisms have evolved.
Maybe what you meant to say was "doesn't it worry you that you have no facts to back up your theory"? , but you were just overly sloppy in your use of the English language?
If that is what you ACTUALLY meant to say, I would respond, Doesn't it bother you that you have no facts to back up your own favorite theory?
Not only that, but doesn't it bother you that your favorite theory is not even particularly logical, given that science continues to see more and more evidence of epigentic changes happening rapidly- with virtually NO evidence for these so- called slow progressions of random biological roads which just so happen to lead to the promised land?

Knowledge is not passed on through generations via DNA. Its impossible.
Well, it may not technically be DNA that passes on these life experiences, but knowledge is being passed on just the same. Does it matter if its physically our DNA doing this, or some other genetic pathway-just as long as it in in fact happening? You saying that this is impossible sounds rather naive.
Biology stands on the brink of a shift in the understanding of inheritance. The discovery of epigenetics — hidden influences upon the genes — could affect every aspect of our lives.
At the heart of this new field is a simple but contentious idea — that genes have a 'memory'. That the lives of your grandparents — the air they breathed, the food they ate, even the things they saw — can directly affect you, decades later, despite your never experiencing these things yourself. And that what you do in your lifetime could in turn affect your grandchildren. BBC - Science & Nature - Horizon

But so what, what's your point?
The knowledge of the organisms lifetime is being passed on genetically. Why does it matter if its located in the DNA? Its somewhere.
