Rob Carter is correct, and PZ Myers, as an old-fashioned population geneticist, is wrong. Don't you understand that environmental conditions and factors affect the organisms' epigenomes? DNA is just a passive information data repository and its reading is completely controlled and regulated by epigenetic mechanisms and factors.
