“One thing we do know is that each cell membrane contains epi-genetic encodings.”
No.
Cell membranes are not nor are where the genetic material resides. They are lipid bilayers and protein, mainly.
Epigenetic regulation takes place in the nucleus and is covalent modification of DNA and histone proteins.
God was once approached by a scientist who said, “Listen God, we’ve decided we don’t need you anymore. These days we can clone people, transplant organs and do all sorts of things that used to be considered miraculous.”
God replied, “Don’t need me huh? How about we put your theory to the test. Why don’t we have a competition to see who can make a human being, say, a male human being.”
The scientist agrees, so God declares they should do it like he did in the good old days when he created Adam.
“Fine” says the scientist as he bends down to scoop up a handful of dirt.”
“Whoa!” says God, shaking his head in disapproval. “Not so fast. You get your own dirt.”
