@DNA Thumbs drive,
RNA isn't DNA and they performed a lot of the DNA functions before DNA.. RNA are capable of adaptation and self-replication. You can actually do a lot without DNA, just not as much as you can with DNA. DNA are simple molecular chains. And to be more exact, without electromagnetism, none of those things would exist. Furthermore we have shown enzymes that hint at life without DNA or RNA. We already know life can exist without DNA or RNA such as red blood cells. Regardless however, it needs be repeated for the dunce among us here that abiogenesis has not bearing on evolutionary synthesis.. It doesn't matter if you believe magical unicorn man waved his magical horn and created life, or if life emerged from natural processes as the fact remains, evolution is a fact.. This even if you want to argue DNA as a code when DNA changes over time. You can't reproduce without changes in the genome..., ever.. Hence reproduction in itself actually guarantees evolution regardless of how great or small those changes are. The human genome project has proven that for quite a while now, and there is no indication of intelligence involved. There are no magic elves pushing the atoms around and sequencing them, it is rather the forces of nature, and mostly the electromagnetic force.
