I'm not getting touchy; I just need you to understand that you've done nothing to convince me that you aren't a layman when it comes to genetics.
All right, slimebeast, break it down for me. Explain to me a given instinctual mechanic that can be explained by sequences in DNA - let's take something easy, like a deer's fear of humans.
Tell me how it works. Don't avoid the big words.

I haven't? That's because you can't free yourself from prejudice. Since you think I have radical and anti-scientific opinions and beliefs you have labeled me and you underrate me. You don't have to deny it, I know it is so.
Of course "layman" needs a definition. Who is an expert and who is a layman? But my understanding of how genetics cooperate with the environment to determine behaviour is mostl likely better than anyone else in this forum. And I'm sure the proof is out there, in old posts.
As for your example with a deer's fear of humans, I don't want to reveal the answer yet, because I need to get you convinced that I understand this topic better than lestatdark. So hopefully he will reply in the thread soon.

Each argument exists in a vacuum. I don't care about how you argud in the evolution thread, or whatveer. If you recall, I only posted in there to comment about the speed of light and the age of the universe, not anything to do with genetics.
If you can't provide any proof then I'm sorry, but I'm going to remain unconvinced of pretty much anything.
Curiosity here, rather than trying to build an argument: what sort of doctor are you?

I've discussed genetics here before, regarding other topics.
I'm a general practitioner.
