Quote:Agreed. My point is that a leg needs hundreds or thousands of mutations all to happen at once to even get an extrusion that is useful in a similar way to a leg
And demonstrating yet again that you do not know what the fuck you are talking about.
Really, you should be embarrassed to write such drivel but I know we can't embarrass a talking snake believer.

Quote:The metaphor of the title has us standing before vast mountains of life history wondering how we — or life itself — could ever possibly have scaled their sheer, vertical faces. The rubble at our feet are viruses and other simple organisms, while the pinnacles represent organisms of unimaginable complexity, elephants or human beings, along with their individual parts, such as the eye. How you climb from bacteria to the summits of evolution poses an intellectual challenge for which Dawkins offers advice: look around to the other side of the mountains to see how over eons of time the gradualist selection for slightly advantageous adaptations can get us, by way of gentle hills and gradual inclines, to the peaks.
The eye, that standard example of God’s intelligent handiwork for anti-Darwin creationists, is shown to have evolved separately at least forty times on the slopes of the far side of Mount Improbable. And so it is with other adaptations which seem so far-fetched. In billions of years of geological time, the statistically improbable becomes biologically likely.
Dawkins finishes with a sketch of the astounding coevolution of fig trees and fig wasps — each fig an enclosed flower garden tended according to its kind by a specialised species of wasp — leaving the reader with a glimpse of the staggering complexity of evolved life. It’s a sublime view.
As long as you are going to pontificate about creationist drivel you can expect to be treated like a creationist moron.
