Intelligent design type evolution vs naturalism type evolution.

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....

If so many mutations occurred that gave rise to a whole system at once, how can a sensible person attribute that to sheer chance? Even if it happened one time in evolution, for it to be happen again and again, in evolution of our species, is lunacy.

It implies a designer.

Well ns can only do that if it's advantageous at overwhelming the majority of the steps in between from my perspective.

Quote: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?

I know but the reverse is true. Just because you don't see it as impossible, doesn't mean others don't or are not justified in that perception.

Mutations are not totally random, but over all, are random in nature. There is some structure to them, and some get more repetitive then others, due to natural selection and how genes are structured, but this doesn't mean they aren't random.
