Creation Moment 8/9/2017 - "Somehow" passes for "Science" now?

...who hath redness of eyes? Proverbs 23:29
"Why does America’s most prestigious scientific journal put up with a story like, ‘somehow it evolved in an ancestor’?
The word ‘somehow’ appears twice in this summary on Phys.org of a Perspective piece in Science about the evolution of instincts:
A pair of biology professors, one with the University of Illinois, the other with
Macquarie University in Australia has proposed in a Perspective piece in the journal Science that the traits we see as instinctual in animals were likely learned by ancestors. In their paper, Gene Robinson and Andrew Barron suggest that those behaviors learned by ancestors wound up in their DNA somehow, making them instinctual behaviors in later generations….
But where did these innate abilities come from? That is the question posed by Robinson and Barron—they suggest many, if not all innate abilities arise due to an ancestor learning how to do something and then somehow passing that information along in their DNA." CEH
