Look at the breeding of animals, man can reduce or enhance features so easily. And even add things which weren't there before (swim skin between the paws of retrieving dogs). If all is meant to be the way it is, why is that so simple in such a short period of time?

okay, an example of humans changing: we have still teeth were there is no room (anymore), get goosebumps, even though there is little hair (left) to take much effect and still have hair where we don't need it (anymore)... so we DID change, too!

Our bodies are simply a mass of various chemicals that have been influenced by our environment.
It is the soul that was made in God's image and given to us individually. It is a soul that makes us human- not opposable thumbs or molecular double helices.

It is not easy at all to actually change DNA. Animal breeding makes use of dominant and recessive traits that are passed through generations. A breeder can force the emergence of recessive traits by artificial selection, but the breeder is not really making changes to the actual coding sequence of the DNA. We do now know how to indroduce mutations into DNA. That is how we breed mice that are missing genes, or have human genes, etc. But I really wouldn't say that it is easy.
Actually one of the amazing features of DNA is how little it changes in humans and animals. The enzymes that copy the DNA make very few mistakes and actually have a proofreading capability so they can "back up" and correct many of the mistakes that occur randomly. Even when a few point mutations get through, the degeneracy of the genetic code keeps the protein sequence unchanged in most cases. The system seems to be geared toward fidelity, not change.

Why not? Once man learned what a particular gene does it is a comparatively simple matter to add or delete something to get a different result. God did that all the time. How do you think he created everything. Simply by changing the master plan a little. When something works, why reinvent the wheel? Keep in mind however, that God did it from scratch the first time. Man only can use what God has already done.

why should it be hard to do any thing, God, when he send Jesus to die on the cross, his death,gave us back the authority that God had given Adam, when he turned it over to the devil in the garden of Eden. Jesus set everything back the way God wanted it, where man would have dominion over all the Earth, including the animals, and we have the same authority Jesus had when he was here on Earth too, but people or so unbelieving of him , they don't know what they do have and if most knew what we are entitled to , I say there would be a lot more people saved and in church on Sunday mornings.......

DNA interacts with environmental and isolation between the group of society in a certain time. Climate varied have big contribution for pigmentation's as human nowadays change its races.

DNA actually has very little to do with the actual form of organisms. Everything on earth shares about 50% of the same DNA, and there are so many differences.

according to most theists god is queer and anything irrational or unreasonable is well within his realm of accountability.Logic is irrelevant to christian thinking.just as the Christian hard core believer and they will tell you mutable DNA is all part of god's plan cause he works in strange ways at least when ever the explanation is for a conundrum with no good reason.

Human DNA is human DNA. Period. It does not change. What does a dog's DNA have to do with whether or not God created man as he is?
Next question, please.

Why is it so hard to believe that God made humans with the capacity to change? Your muscles get bigger when you lift weights. Thats change.
