Intelligent design type evolution vs naturalism type evolution.

RE: Intelligent design type evolution vs naturalism type evolution.
It doesn't have to, it needs only be non-deleterious.

Think of it this way Mystic. Perhaps right now, this very moment, you possess a mutation that makes you effectively immune to a pandemic disease that has not yet shown up. This mutation isn't doing anything for you right now, but it;s not killing you. If that disease never shows up, we'll never have a phenomenal record of it's existence. But if it does, the mutation will have become what we call an "adaptation"...and when all of the rest of the males die from dick drop off disease (as it will come to be called) then you and your genetics will become very well represented in the surviving population.

If, on the other hand, the disease never shows up, but you continue to pass along this mutation - and it continues to change, there may be a moment in which that mutation has a beneficial effect entirely removed from the resistance to disease it conferred...perhaps it makes you entirely more virile...and here again, your genetics will be very well represented in the surviving population.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
