Evolution depends on the flexibility and upgradability of our DNA programming right?
Upgradability carries with it the implications of 'improvement' and 'improvement' with reference to some absolute standard. If this is what you intended then you are mistaken.
So, evolutionary change should not be judged by the qualities of the animal, but by the quality of the animal's DNA.
Correct. Evolutionary change should not be judged.
Wait a moment...you added something more.
You are back on this 'improvement' kick, aren't you? How do you
judge the
quality of an animals DNA? What do you mean by good quality DNA? Excellent DNA? Terrible DNA? It's meaningless to try to make these kinds of distinctions in the way you intend.
Nature, however, does judge an animal's DNA by judging the animal's quality. Exactly what you think shouldn't happen, but exactly what does. And it does not do it on an absolute scale where this DNA and hence this animal is 'higher' quality than that one. It does it on the basis that this animal is fitter to survive and reproduce
in this particular environment. Change the environment and you change the 'quality' of the DNA and the 'quality' of the animal that will survive.
Only by looking at the DNA can you really see what changes were made, the real quality and quantity of DNA changes.
Looking at the DNA allows us to quantify and specify the changes. It tells us nothing about the quality of those changes for the reasons noted above.
For example, some might consider a cow evolving into a giraffe to be evolutionary just from looking at the animal(it's just hypothetical, I don't really know).
OF course its frigging evolutionary. It's changed its phenotype radically through a change of genotype. It's ancestral line has evolved. It is evolution.
Once more you seem to be on this misguided roll where you conflate evolution with improvement.
But if you take a deeper look and compare the cow's DNA to the giraffe's DNA, it may turn out that the giraffe's DNA is not fundamentally different, only restructured and copied-and-pasted within the allowable parameters of it's original programming. In this example, the giraffe didn't get any more fundamentally complex.
You are at it again! You think evolution means
becoming more complex!!
Here you are, on this forum, arguing the case on evolution and you don't even understand the first principles. There are many here who will be happy to teach you, but first you have to abandon these simplistic, distorted notions.
Back to my Windows analogy. DNA code is like computer code in that it can not become any more complex than it's original programming allows for.
We already know this is not the case, so your argument falls at the first hurdle, or more precisely you have enjoyed a false start.
