Already provided it, the fact it completely went over your head is not really my problem. It is you who provides claims of knowledge that you have not provided any proof of, you claim to know that God does not exist and yet provide no evidence proving his non-existence.

You are right, I had that backwards, but it is not an example of evolution. Humans are all lactose tolerant at birth; they then have a mechanism that shuts this tolerance off after weaning. Most humans today have lost that mechanism, so they become lactose persistent. However, this is a loss in genetic information because of the loss of the mechanism, so it is still downhill selection. You can’t keep pointing to examples of downhill selection (something creationists support) to try and prove that uphill selection happens all the time (something creationists do not support).

Quote:Scientists have looked into the human genome to find the precise genetic mutation that causes lactose tolerance. Lactose tolerance in humans always come from the same genetic mutation, regardless of whether they are of European, Asian, and African descent.

This must be from an old source because it has currently been traced to three different mutations; some Africans even have all three mutations that result in lactose persistence.
