Our current understanding of DNA already provides overwhelming evidence for evolution.
We've only known about DNA for 50 years. It's only in the last few years that the human gnome has been mapped and we're only just started to unravel where each signpost on that map is pointing.
As we study our own dna and that of other species, the evolutionary pathway will become far clearer and more defined in every detail.
The evidence in support of evolution that comes from this will be far more impressive than what is already an irrefutable mountain of evidence.
Will this progressly chip away at the number of fundamentalists?
Or will they merely say "DNA was put there to test our faith"?

Of course stupidity can survive understanding DNA. It is called stupidity for a reason.

DNA cannot answer the question of the origin of the species.
DNA could lead to the acknowledgment of a creator. Is this question the type of scientific quest for answers or just the acknowledgment that creationism is a hoax. Lets see the evidence before you have a funeral. I thought science was all about evidence

So why can a scientist test DNA from an ape, and know that it is from an ape, and test DNA from a human, and know that it is from a human?
I believe that a better understanding of DNA will point in a different direction than you think it will, depending on the scientist. I suppose that you will all try to discredit any scientist that denies your claims. Big Surprise.

The same pattern seems to repeat itself over and over again. Religious believers hear about new scientific discoveries and explanations that contradict a literal reading of their scriptures, so they oppose it. As evidence mounts, eventually they accept it. Finally, later generations of religious believers look back on those earlier ones and wonder what the fuss was about, while doing the same thing in relation to a different issue in their own time.

It would all be the more reason to be a fundamentalist, the more science can prove, the more the creator is proved.

When they create DNA from nothing "That will Get My Attention".

We can always hope but only time, a lot of time, will tell. I wish I could live to see the day.

DNA proves a designer.

Yes because DNA proves that there was an intelligent designer and disproves evolution.
