“The Problem of Evil” in atheism and in Islam

They aren't random: each mutation is set on a scaffold of those that came before, and the environment in which that mutation takes place. Those mutations that persist are the ones that gel with the previous mutations in other generations, and with the environment. That's a set of conditions, meaning the mutations aren't purely random.


Not random, and not unguided either; natural selection is the guide.

I think you are abusing the word mutation, and next you will forced to tell us that the Hackney is a mutation of the Belgium horse as we know them today. There is such a thing as selective breeding that can be done by design as seen from the outside.

You...do know what selected breeding is, yes? It's breeding that selects for a specific mutation, which arises randomly, to increase the chance that that mutation propogates into an organism's offspring.

You should also not confuse mutation with adaptation that is just opposite to mutation as interior caused. The best mutation I know is where the red potato is an eye mutant of the white potato and that happened not that long ago.

Please define mutation and adaptation. I doubt you know either.
