If you go down to the sub atomic level, quantum level, inside dna and you have the movement of electrons and protons. DNA is a protein machine. Genes are turned on, or off, by the movement of electrons and protons. Sub atomic particles exist in a quantum state of potential. Two possibilities alive at the same time! It is the local environment that causes these potentialities to be, or not. If a gene has the potential to be in two places at once, it is in both places at once. And the gene is both on and off at the same tme until "something" measures it.
It is the environment that measures it and the environment of a gene is the DNA molecule itself! Therefore constant cellular measurement is the engine of evolution. Evolution is not a slow process either, it can be almost instantaneous.
If you place a variant of e.coli that can not digest lactose in a lactose rich environment 98% will die - BUT 2% will, sub atomically, switch on a lactose digesting enzyme and will, consequently, survive then grow.
We are our own Gods!!
