No, I stated in my post that certain key regulators in each successive
generation would utilize (or not) the newly accessible traits (from
genetic drift). The selection processes don't even come into play here
because my argument is (as is Adman's) that they wouldn't have such
"convenient" new data to select. These are errrors according to
science, not carefully sequenced bits of info as by a designer. Throw
this evolution argument out now, its rediculous! Now was life designed
this way? Of course!

Exactly.

No, not even approximately.
