Dr Adequate writes:
DNA contains a set of instructions for constructing an organism but nothing remotely like a diagram or description of what the organism should look like when it's finished.
It may already have been mentioned (I haven't read the thread that far yet), but DNA actually contains almost exclusively instructions for constructing chains of amino acids. The rest of the construction process of an organism is regulated by the laws of chemistry and physics.
But what Dr Adequate says stands: there is nothing like a blueprint in DNA.
