The Meaninglessness of Meaning

[Mudhammam]

I do not find macroevolution convincing by any means, there are a lot of assumptions and leaps there.  Evolution and natural selection in describing variations within a species, yes.  The pure mathematical probability of beneficial mutations in single cell organisms giving rise to more complex ones leaves me highly suspicious.

So, what do you think would happen if a variation were isolated from its parent species and continued in its minute changes for a million years, under different ecological pressures? I think you don't give enough thought to how long a million - or a billion - years, really is.
