I would also questions your assertions that the difference between human and chimp genomes is 60 million base pairs, that each mutation is beneficial and that each must be implicitly targeted towards a specific evolutionary feature.
Question it as much as you want
. I've studied the subject and there are indeed 60 million base pairs.
As to not every mutation having to be benificial then you might have a point there. I didn't think of that. But still, The number of benificial mutations that would have to take place would be quite big.
And I would like to question this:
Mutational rate varies from 0.1% to 0.0000001% (Ridley 1993) so the average is approx. 0.0001%. If 1% are beneficial then the chance of them being beneficial is 0.000001% (1 in 100,000,000). A given beneficial mutation will therefore arise only once per 100,000,000 individuals whilst detrimental or neutral mutation will arise only once per 1,000,000 individuals (Condor, 1998)
So how can such an adverse rate produce adaptations particularly when most of the changes are either harmful or have no effect? According to Condor (1998) the process is not completely random ... there are several mechanisms at work such as mutation, gene recombination, sexual selection, natural selection etc. and secondly selection is cumulative.
There has been no scientific proof of a benificial mutation occuring yet. (Or at the time I studied this crap anyway). Has one been achieved? If it has I'd be greatly intersted.
You say that detrimental mutations are not passed forward? But that is contradicting what dawinian said when he claimed.
These are all genetic mutations that can get passed on to the next generation that have no benefit.
So do they get passed on or dont they?
And looking at (Condor, 1998) it says that one in every 100,000,000 individuals has a benificial mutation. Has this been recorded?
In fact if science does not provide proof of benificial mutation then your whole theory of evolution goes down the drain... And so far I have not heard of such evidence. (dosent mean that it doesn't exist of couse, if it does I'd greatly love to see it).

Atheism: The beleif that there was nothing and then nothing magically exploded for no reason, creating everything..... Makes perfect sense. :confused2:
