I think evolution is scientifically impossible. The simple fact is, DNA can not change itself.

Actually, DNA can change itself. It has been shown in many, many lab tests that DNA can spontaneously mutate. Now, to keep our cells from developing these spontaneous mutations at important loci in our genetic code, enzyme complexes come along behind DNA polymerase (the enzyme that essentially xeroxes DNA) and 'proofreads' the reading frame, correcting any incorrect substitutions of purines and/or pyrimidines.
Well... technically, this dude (or dudette, or dud, as you like it) is RIGHT! DNA cannot change itself. It requires an external stimulus (say chemical or radiological effects, for example, or the enzymes mentioned by Cynthia) in order to change. Am I nit-picking here? Or maybe just plain wrong?
Yes, my irony meter just put out so much energy that it opened a portal in the space-time continuum and vanished into the dimension of the Time Fish.
I'm assuming here that JKD means Jeet Kune Do - which is all about 'evolution' of form.
Idiot. Jun Fan would be ashamed.
Happens all the time.
Next lying idiot.
Hey, JKD? Yeah, there's this lady with six fingers on one hand who'd like to speak to you. And there's a line of cancer patients behind her. And a line of redheads. And blondes. And brunettes. And white people. And black people. And asians. And short people. And tall people. And blue-eyed people. And brown-eyed people. And green-eyed people. And violet-eyed people. And people with individually coloured eyes. And pretty much the entire population of the planet.
Then stand next to the Corium Melt (a.k.a. the 'Elephant's Foot') in Chernobyl for an hour.
Anyone exposed to the unimaginable amounts of radiation that thing chucks out for more than a few seconds will die hideously in a matter of days, as said radiation will cause their DNA to change: Mutate .
“I think evolution is scientifically impossible”
‘Scientifically’ impossible? Because a whole BUNCH of scientists work with it, or their work is based on it.
"The simple fact is, DNA can not change itself.”
Itself, no.
Following generations, yes.
This is why your offspring are not just a clone of either you or your spouse. If your kid has a different blood type than you, that’s a DNA change.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
