Why do people talk about step A, step B, and step C as steps in advantage each, to emphasize, natural selection directing it, but then the steps in between A and B and C, need not be advantageous or directed?
Seems like getting best of both worlds. Convince us by "advantage mutation + natural selection" for one STAGE of mutation, but all that is leading up to that stage of series of mutations is not advantageous? Doesn't this seem like the theory is contradicting it's own principles?
But it seems it must be that way to me, (which is where I'm stuck at with irreducible complexity), at a certain point or at least guided by other than natural selection and random mutations.
