A) Nylon is just a fancy patented recipe for plastic and plastic has been around as long oil has been oozing out of or onto the ground from animals or plants. B) DNA doesn't transmit inheritance information. Nobody knows what DNA does for sure or what the mechanism is for transmitting inheritance information.

Sounds like someone is talking out their ass. It's amazing that people will hear something from someone else, or incorrectly reason something and then when given the opportunity will readily disgorge their information as if there is no way that they can be wrong about it. This is simply another example why basing knowledge on belief or faith is just a bad thing.
a) Plastic needs to be combined with petrol, estrogen and a few other things before it.
Actually.. Dominant and recessive are still valid, if not accurate. Some things like eye color will always be X, even if the gene also exists for Y. What differs in modern understanding is that at some point in early development the entire DNA chain is unwrapped and run through, with the RNA then triggering a refolding of more or less random sets of genes. If you have Chromosome 200 with gene sequence A and sequence B, then you have three possible situations:
... WOW, Kagehi. I mean... wow. I'm surprised you took that much time to type that, and I'm glad you did. It was really informative.
Kagehi: Very interesting stuff, makes a lot of sense when I read it over a bit more than once. There was a lot of material, after all.
Plastic is a word that covers many products, Plastic mean change. They don't occur in nature as they are highly specialized materials made up of many elements that have to be refined from many other materials.
Nylon has only existed since man developed it in 1935. Words represent things. While derived from petrochemicals both nylon and plastics are products nature never made or could make. you can have all the ingredients for an apple pie and still end up with a disgusting mess.
I guess this refers to the nylon eating bacteria and he's suggesting this bactria is just an oil eating bacteria. No. They tested this. It has specialized. evolved to eat only nylon, that's the key point. It can't metabolise rawer products anymore.
Since nylon has only existed since 1935 the nylon eating bacteria has only existed recently and i believe only at that long producing nylon plants remnant dump.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
