I agree with James. There are lots of mechanisms that are unexplained because 
science hasn't figured it out yet, and may never. Just because it isn't 
explainable, or studied by science, or proven by scientists, doesn't mean it 
isn't possible. Some genes exist for no apparent reason, and some are either 
'on' or 'off' and one day they might find a way to flip the switch whichever 
way they want. or they might find a reason for why certain genes exist or 
don't in the first place. Just because we can't imagine a way doesn't mean 
that someone else someday won't. And if we can imagine a way, just because 
it's considered mysticism and fancy now doesn't mean that someday it won't be 
considered science.

 A very short time ago the notion that one's genetic makeup could alter at
 all, the epigentics or the sequencing, was considered itself to be fanciful
 mysticism.  Now it is not.  Every estabilshed scientific principle we 
consider to
 be truth incarnate now of days was at one time leaving science and entering
 mysticism.
