Epigenetics is the mechanisms of embryology acting on the genetics.
You don't understand what is meant by a scientific law.
From my research I've found that micro array analysis of the epigenetic expression of organism's genes suggest evidence that methylation and histone status change regularly throughout the life of the organism, not just in the embryo.
Gene expression is regulated by the environment of the cell. This is not a new idea and does not in any way disprove evolution. It does not even modify it greatly.
These mechanisms are part of the modern evolutionary synthesis (neo-Darwinism).
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
