Mutations disprove the theory of upward evolution

[pocaracas]

Deleterious mutations get removed from the genome after 1~80 generations (20, on average).
Non-deleterious mutations may remain for thousands of generations.
Beneficial mutations remain for as long as they are beneficial.

Back to school with you, man. I told you to read... why didn't you?

So it is just the definition of non-deleterious vs Deleterious.

So when the genome has been corrupted by non-deleterious mutations of very many different kinds for all individuals of the population, how will they be removed? You did say "may" after "thousands" of generations. So may never or may after 100,000 generations. You just proved my point.

So as they accumulate, why do they then not start to become deleterious but now there is no way to remove because all individuals have the very many errors.


This is simple logic and you are blind to see it.

At least, we've agreed that deleterious mutations do cause a survivability/reproducibility problem, right?
Now, the non-deleterious mutations may have an effect on the certain details in the physiology of the animal, or on its functionality, or may have no effect at all.
When lots of these mutations build up.... if they have caused sufficient changes in physiology, they may give rise to a new species, or just a new race.
If one of them becomes deleterious, it is weeded out of the population, at the same rate as all deleterious mutations. But the overall population retains the non-deleterious ones and just goes on.
Do remember, we are not talking about one single animal from a given species. We are talking about an entire population. And the mutations pop up on single animals, not on the whole population at the same time!
