I swear my wife is gonna divorce me if I keep spending so much time on this thread! So, on that note, an in-depth reply to you genetics questions may be a while coming - I am going out of town for Easter. But I will try to give a quick response now.
I am definitely not an expert on DNA (or anything else, for that matter), but a lot of what you talked about sounded like variation or adaptation. Please correct me if I am wrong. Will the process you described lead to new species, or show how a whale could evolve into a land animal? Please be as simple as possible so I can follow your reasoning.
