Calling that sheer luck is like saying it's random chance that sediment settles into such orderly layers. Mutations are somewhat random, the 'sifting process' turns that randomness into order.
The fitness evolution theory has been cited ad nauseum here, but NS is powerless w out lucky mutations. You do understand that right? I’ve said it too many times. If you ended up with a lamp and a bulb ; the bulb having mutated into existence and it works in the lamp, NS could DO NOTHING if you got an Oreo cookie instead of the bulb. POWERLESS
, it’s the luck of the bulb, If you can’t get your head around this, then you continue down the Nile River ~~~~
Hliarious. You claim that it is impossible that natural selection could poof a giraffe into existence despite that natural selection makes no such claim. No, instead, you think a god poofed a giraffe into existence. And to you, that makes sense.
