How do the new genes get installed?
A. Infectious diseases spread new genes around very effectively. It is very well-known that viruses often install their genes into their host’s genome. Q. There is absolutely no convincing evidence that evolution is driven by genes from space. A. True, the evidence is not yet convincing to many people. But there is no evidence that random mutation can compose new genes with important new coding sequences. The math makes it absurdly unlikely. Why are people convinced of that theory? The conservative theory is that such genes already exist. If so, it would be logical to conclude that they come from space. They have to come from somewhere, and that’s the only “somewhere” there is.
