The Problem with Christians

[Esquilax]

Plenty of substance that you choose to ignore. Is it "silly" to say that our  actual experience of genetic mutation in humans is overwhelmingly negative? Absolutely not.

Actually, it is silly, given that what you're saying isn't, you know, true? Your lack of knowledge on this subject is really very embarrassing: you asked in an earlier post "how many mothers wish that their babies have genetic mutations?" and in turn, I have a question for you: do you know how many mothers are going to have babies with genetic mutations?

All of them.

I mean, hell, man, did you even look this up before you spoke? Human beings have about sixty genetic mutations from birth, inescapably. We gain more the longer we live. The vast majority of mutations are small and entirely neutral: my hyper-extending elbows are mutations, and they haven't done me any damage. I know the popular, uninformed conception of mutations are the big, dramatic ones, but as usual, the reality is far more low key and, well, realistic. Unless you're a direct clone of your parents, every single difference in appearance between you and your parents are mutations. I'm taller than anyone in my family: mutation. Big feet? Mutation. And so on.

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.

We don't tend to see that. You don't even see that, because I'm fairly convinced you've never so much as attempted to look.

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!

Perhaps you should have bothered to find out what mutations are before you decided what they can and cannot do, next time? Aren't you embarrassed with yourself?
