Nice one Paul.
Any idea how the information/instinct entered the genome and/or how the behaviour arose?
See the last umpteen times that this was answered: mutations and natural selection.
Now, that's just a label, and there's a whole lot of complexity inside... but as you don't appear capable of even processing this, what's the point in going further?
I've informed you already: this is the only answer you are going to get. If you don't like it, then you need to challenge it, not ignore it.
Are you going to challenge it? Are you going to bring your knowledge of genetics to bear to disprove mutations and natural selection?
The fact is that you know you're not in any kind of position to make such criticisms - you don't have the basic required knowledge. It's fine. It really is. Just get over this absurd desire to pretend to strangers on the internet that you actually do have a clue. It's just a waste of your life, and shameful, to be frank.
We can all learn, Async. There are numerous topics here where I shut up and read. When I don't understand, I ask for an explanation, I don't use my ignorance of the topic to criticise it.
You should try it - what have you got to lose? Internet cred? Do you really think you've got any?
How about just trying to put all that bullshit aside and engaging transparently here, without all this pretense and foolishness? The reason you don't accept evolution is simply because you don't understand it... and sitting here rehearsing your prejudices ain't going to change that. Asking people to help you understand is the only way this is ever going to become a useful interaction.
Try to look past all the ego for a moment, eh?
