“The Problem of Evil” in atheism and in Islam

And those traits are expressed through specific mutations.

Quote:The same is true with plants in which a breeding program often takes place in confined spaces as patent right adds ownership to this. From there seeds are taken and selective often replicated trials are done to find the best performers within.

So, specific mutations are selected and artificially given greater access to the gene pool. How is it that this excludes mutations, again?

Quote:So here now we have selection in addition to selective breeding to reach distinction pertaining only to a desired quality, just yet. This so is still far removed from a mutation that has its own non-cause to be.

Mutations can be deliberately selected, that doesn't make them not mutations. The term doesn't attest to the cause of the concept too, just change in genetics.
