I have no need to do this, as mutatations do not require djinn to occur. The rest of your post honestly falls flat on it;s face right here.....but....

Quote: He can also be adding mutations that are not random, but making something head towards a direction, by selectively choosing those mutations in advantageous individuals of the population, over and over again, that are adding towards the system, even though the incomplete system plays no advantage.What would this achieve that ns does not by working in the reverse?
Quote: The last line, while you might say is possible through naturalism, I really don't see it possible, because there is no direction by natural selection to select those specific type of mutations over and over again that are leading to a different function and system since the mutations are completely random.Natural selection isn't "selecting" any type of mutations in particular to achieve any sort of specific system, nor are the mutations that express themselves as evolution random in any sense of the word (many mutations occur - not all of them are expressed as adaptations or advantage), I've been trying to explain this to you from the very beginning...so whether or not you can see how it might be doing that is entirely irrelevant, isn't it?
