Hi, Arithus! That statement is on the literate side of the arguments from the "no new information" camp - but let me take a crack at it.
Also, birds have a gene that gives their legs their scaley lizard like appearance, and genes that give them teeth so that they may break open the eggs they are born in.
That isn't quite true. Birds have genes that code for proteins, or for when/where/how/if those proteins get made. Mutations alter one of these items.
Every individual adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine that make up the Deoxyribonucleic Acid in your body is directly inherited from those two individuals that made you.
No. Each of us has maybe 100 (biologists?? what's the accepted number?) of those that are neither Mom's nor Pop's.
None of them have anything new in them that separate them from the rest of their species. DNA is unable to produce anything that is not recycled.
Not so. Mutations result in brand-spankin'-new proteins all the time. Your correspondent seems to want to see tyrannosaurs hatching out quail before he'll sign on to anything beyond "a snake is still a snake." He's ignoring what Darwin so clearly saw - it takes lots of time.
