There is no controversy over GAs. If intelligent design was required then GAs wouldn't work. But they do.

Granted some mutations can, for example, make a mosquito more resistant to pesticides, but this mutation actually corrupts the Genome and makes the organism weaker.
Define what you mean by corrupting the genome.
If a mutation makes a mosquito more resistant to pesticides then how does this make the organism weaker? It actually improves the evolutionary fitness of an organism. This is why antibiotic resistance is on the rise for example.

Certainly not true of creatards.
Go blow your fucking god out your ass.... whichever silly-assed god you think exists.
You might try reading Dawkins but I'm sure the big words would throw you.
Also complexity is not the defining feature of life. If it was then my computer would be alive. Or even a telephone book.
