Yes, mutations are random. They are the building blocks upon which selection - a decidedly non-random process - takes place.
Please try hard not to fool yourself into imagining that your arguments are somehow new, unique or different. You are exactly like every other anti-science creationist, railing against what you don’t understand.
Boru Essentially he will argue that anything that isn't design is chance .Which is nonsense .

I have met atheists that don't believe in evilution as you would put it. Alas, even if evolution is wrong, bears no thought on gods. You are so simple minded to think its the only alternative. Mabe eternal hamsters. Russian hamsters.

Well put. I know atheists who believe in all manner of silly things - tarot cards, healing crystals, astrology, and so on.
Nuttiness is no bar to atheism.

No serious biologist thinks that life started with entire cells. Your argument is a strawman.

Those are modern proteins. Why would you even expect them to be present? It's like arguing that fire couldn't have been discovered without the resources of the National Ignition Facility, so Prometheus dunnit!

I know this has been explained to you before, but here it is again.
Atheism is NOT necessarily the belief there is no god or gods, it is the disbelief in theist's god claims. My position, as an atheist, is theists have failed to meet their burden of proof.
Even if evolution were to be disproven tomorrow (it won't be, it's been observed), that would not offer a single shred of evidence that a god or gods were responsible. (Allegedly) 'Poking holes' in evolution, does not get us to 'god did it'.
Quote:As far as living creation coming into existence, EVOLUTION it’s ALL CHANCE mutations, the engine of evolution
Evolution (and abiogenesis) are not purely chance processes. There are physical laws that dictate the way chemistry works that is not chance. There are strict laws that dictate the way biology works that is not chance.
A specific mutation may be chance, but it is acted on by natural SELECTION, which is not chance. Notice the word "selection"?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Wow you fool yourselves continuously by pretending that evolution is not random. That’s rich!
Without chance mutations, natural selection is totally meaningless. Chance is the engine and my how lucky mammals have been and all by chance, just like the butterfly w owls eyes!
And I’m the misguided fool?
