The only requirement to converse in any subject is a brain not a PhD. If you're not interested in these conversations, at the very least let those that are continue to participate.
If you'd like, I'll forward you the PDFs for my university's biology and genetics textbooks. I look forward to hearing from you when you feel more qualified.
A brain with a PhD in the subject matter is indeed more useful and likely contains more truth about the topic.
I am a lay person when it comes to biology. I've had a single basic University course on the topic and not much more.
Those with more knowledge try to explain to lay people that DNA is like a blueprint or it's like a program code of instructions. People understand blueprints and program codes.
The problem lies with some lay people thinking that this simple explanation is ALL there is to it. They want to take this over simplified explanation and treat it like unmovable knowledge.
An automobile is not simply a much larger toy car.
There's more to it than that, but if try to explain all the complexity to a child, the concepts will be lost. That child will need a couple decades of education before he or she will be able to understand everything that makes up a car, it's engine, transmission, body structure, engineering concepts, etc.
DNA is not a code. It's not a blueprint in it's truest sense.
These are terms used to help a lay person to understand some of the basic ideas. It's not completely accurate, in much the same way that an automobile is not just a much larger toy car.
