Mutations disprove the theory of upward evolution

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.

You're a liar, Grace. You're a liar, and nobody here should take you seriously at all until you start actually engaging, and retract this blatantly false claim, with an acknowledgement that you are wrong.

Your source was worthless. Just the same old blindness.

If you were on trial for murder, who do you think has the stronger case: the prosecution with mountains of substantiated evidence and expert witnesses, or you, saying nuh-uh and attempting to discredit those witnesses by changing definitions of terms?

The jury wouldn't even need to deliberate.

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!

So mutations disprove the theory of evolution.

This has to be a Poe. No one offers something like this unless they're giving up the game.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Translation: Didn't read.

The source was the National Center for Biotechnology Information, a division of the National Institute of Health. Seems legit to me.

What precisely is wrong with it as a source is a complete mystery, absent any specific criticism.

A real intellectual heavyweight, this one is.

We can agree that the deleterious mutations are weeded out.

But the remainder of the population is accumulating non-deleterious mutations.

If the population does not accumulate these changes, then there is not enough changes in the DNA to turn one species into another.

Now here is the problem. Unless it can be shown that there is enough that are beneficial, the rest do corrupt the genome of the species.

It is speculation that there are enough beneficial changes to produce new functionality.

That is another weakness in the theory of evolution.

Gracie, you are like your biblical prophets of old; you make shit up as you go along.

As the resident representative of the Amalgamated Guild of Prophets, Soothsayers and Vaticinatious Oracles, I feel it is incumbent upon me to say that not all of our members make shit up as they go along. What an opprobrious, if not libellous, suggestion. Some of us make shit up after the fact and pass it off as historical pronouncement, others use the shit that the client has said and then get the client to supply context.

Present interlocutor excepted, obviously.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Well first you have to define what you mean by a corrupted genome?
You see around 95% of the human genome is junk and that number is fairly in every mammalian genome we have mapped.
I think something that may help understand better is the experiments done by Dmitri Belyeav, I'll link
http://www.americanscientist.org/issues/...&css=print
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
