Is it "silly" to say that our actual experience of genetic mutation in humans is overwhelmingly negative? Absolutely not.
Is it "silly" to question how a 3 billion piece code mutated itself into existence when all we tend to see is mutation doing damage to human DNA? Absolutely not.
Does it take an enormous amount of faith on your part to believe that a fundamentally damaging process to human DNA is responsible for vastly improving it? Abso-frigging-lutely!
You have no science degree, you have made it clear.
Anyone who knows a modicum of biochemistry is aware that:
1) The chemical reactions you call "artificial" are not done by hand, but my setting conditions so that the reaction occurs automatically under those conditions. We know how it works based on the physics model of Atomic Theory, which is why we are able to accurately simulate nature. When you ask "does that occur in nature?", you're demonstrating an ignorance of how chem labs even operate.
2) We've covered the fact that some mutations ARE beneficial, even though most are not. The fact that you are refusing to acknowledge this simple fact tells me you're more interested in spreading Creationist propaganda than actually understanding science. Every person who continues to even talk to you about this subject after such a display of ignorance should instead be expressing sympathy to you for your crippling ignorance.
That you would refer to someone who grasps the laws of physics/chemistry/biochem (under Atomic Theory) as having to have an "enormous amount of faith" shows us the type of damage your religion has done to your brain.
Here's a hug. It must be hard for you, out there.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
