DNA code

Can genes (DNA) code for creatures’ traits (design characteristics)?


Lets see now whether the main pillar of evolution which is that genes carry the modifications from one generation to another is true or not? 
To know the answer to this question we need to understand how genes and DNA work, the genes are part of the information contained in the DNA molecule such that this information when it is read it becomes a protein and proteins are the building blocks of living creatures (like the bricks, glass, and stone comprising a building). The DNA is found only in the nucleus of the cell and as such the controlling action of the DNA is localized within the cell (shown in figure (2) part (A)).
So when the proteins leave the cell (taking the collagen protein as an example) and they are found in the space outside of the cell (shown in figure (2) part (B)), then the big question now is: Can the DNA control the collagen proteins to form the shape of the hand for example (shown in figure (2) part (C))?
The answer is NO, because as we said the control of the DNA is found only within the nucleus of the cell. Thus it can be concluded that genes and DNA can not code (memorize) the design information of a creature and as such design changes occurring in a certain generation of organisms can not be transferred to the next generation using genes and so there is no basis for the evolution claim.
