genes are
You can actually feel the pseud get a surge of delight everytime they say the word....genetics. They become so sophisticated, so enlightened, so....SCIENCE!
The pseud always hits the middle syllable, "ge-NE-tics", as he gets his squirt of dopamine, and imagines his audience awestruck by his scientific derring-do. "Lol. Those Xtians will never recover from my brutal SCIENCE!"
The reality is that the pseuds' understanding of "genetics" is nothing more than their inane copypasta from Richard Dawkins ("We dance to the tune of our genes"), which is to say pre-HGP idiocy. In actual science, the HGP itself nullified the expectation and hope that DNA explained anything but a diminishing fraction of life's traits. The HGP proved DNA has neither the resolution (a mere 19,000 genes) nor the engineering faculty to explain life in any meaningful sense. Genes are simple blueprints for proteins. There are a few hundred genes differing man from ape.
One can say, "Heritable" or "Biologically determinitive" or many other terms to describe traits. What has been obsolete for 30+ years (and moreso every day) is that "genetics" explains life. DNA is an inert molecule.
