Loopholes in human DNA?

This might be considered another part of my theories on evolution, similar to my post on DSM, but an alternate or even complimentary theory.

When software developers write software they do their best to anticipate and respond to most inputs. Usually they are fairly successful. Then they turn the software over to the software tester and they, being more devious and needing to do their job, provide even more inputs and configurations to find more edges. Still software testing can only go so far. Then the software goes to the public for use. At that point the lack of control is gone and sooner or later some user does something entirely unexpected, finding a loophole in the code, and the program gives a fatal error.

When the US Congress writes the tax code, they do their best to close the loops. I’m sure they give it to accountants and others to read and uncover potential loopholes, but again it only goes so far. Then it goes to the public – and guess what, someone finds a loophole!

What if human DNA has loopholes? What if over time evolution has tried out various combinations and said ‘yeah that works’. Humans are created from that DNA and go out into the world. Maybe evolution has its own testing scheme, similar to software, but reality/life is the ultimate test. Maybe part of human DNA has never been tested. After all the last couple hundred years of human existence has proved that humans can create a lot of things nature itself never did and even use nature in unusual ways. There are whole categories – antibiotics, plastics, manufactured pharmaceuticals (legal and illegal), noxious gases, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), mono-strains of corn and other crops, high fructose corn syrup, pop/soda, pasteurization, chemical fertilizers, cell phones – and the list goes on. What we can expect when humans throw all this at a human body? When all of this is never ‘tested’ by DNA, by evolution?

I imagine we see the results of the unexpected, the unnatural – diabetes, or epidemics of obesity, or gluten allergies.

But humans think we’re smarter, so to counter these conditions we develop insulin and then stomach stapling, and corn that can tolerate Round-Up and so on.

Or maybe nature has outsmarted humans already and these aren’t loopholes at all. What if diabetes as a result of excess sugar is an attempt to weed out the undesirable results and hopefully influence human behavior back to more natural forms? What if gluten allergies force us to change our diet and improve our health?

Who knows really – but humans and their DNA will be on this merry-go-round of mutual interdependence for a while!
