Psalm 139:14 NLT
"Epigenetic research indicates that these new characteristics are not acquired, but merely ‘turned on’;
*all the information for the new characteristic shown in an organism was already there in the DNA,
*and activated by environmental stimuli.
Someone turning on a vehicle air conditioner in response to high
temperatures would not claim at that moment that the car had ‘acquired’ an air conditioner.
The vehicle was manufactured with one; the activation of the air conditioner was in response to environmental conditions, and improved the ‘survival’ conditions in the vehicle.

---‘Inheritance of switched-on characteristics’ would seem to be a better label for epigenetics."
