By chance?
RE: By chance?
By the way, tater tot, mayonnaise is not an instrument.

You cretinous fucking cuntmuffin, you have the IQ of an intellectually stunted mealworm, and you parade it around with such bravado, you serve as a pitiful reminder of human delusion. Do humanity a favor, DO. NOT. BREED!

Yukon_Jack couldn't get a clue if he were in the middle of a herd of clues at the height of the clue breeding season and was doing the clue mating dance while slathered in clue sex pheromones.

NS has ZERO creative ability. You deep down are aware that evolution depends on chance lucky mutations 100% of the time but keep harking back to NS being the engine, it’s not.

Bacteria have always had resistance capabilities it’s just that some of these that have certain traits  survive to appear to have mutated this resistance.

But those owls eyes are quite a work of Art, and how lucky a butterfly mutated them, it’s like a perfect world!

Now that's intelligent design. Cool

So say a predator of butterflies in the Owl Butterfly's environment takes a liking to butterflies with big eye spots. Maybe it's just that good at spotting real owls. If it's effective enough at catching those butterflies, the spots have suddenly become a liability. A Butterfly with smaller spots has a better chance of evading the new predator. Sooner or later, a butterfly will have a mutation that makes its spots smaller. If it survives and breeds, which it has a better chance of doing, the smaller spots will become more prevalent.

I don't see what's difficult about this. It's like arguing that you can't breed for nectarines because the odds of getting one by chance is remote. No one planned nectarines, they were a mutation (as YJ likes to remind us, 'by chance'). But horticulturists liked them, and introduced selection pressures to get more of them. By similar methods, we got sweet bananas and red Anjou pears.

When I was a kid, long before gene-editing technology, there was so-called 'mutation breeding', where plants were exposed to mutagenic chemicals and radiation; literally thousands of new varieties were created by sifting through the results to find plants with desirable new mutations. That was a lot faster than evolution, which has slower mutation rates and no gardeners picking the winners and losers; but evolution does the same thing, it just takes a lot longer.

Correct. But nobody claimed it did, only you.

Mutations happen 100% of the time. Your own existence demonstrates that. Do you understand that? Of course not. On average, a zygote will have mother and fathers DNA plus 128 random mutations. This is why you are not a mere 50/50 mix of your parents.

Hahahaha. Now you are supporting evolution. Too funny.

Except that it isn't. If it were perfect, no owl could ever eat a butterfly. And that does not happen. Conversely, if all owls could spot every butterfly, there would be no butterflies left and that does not happen either. How, in your opinion, does that play out?

Again the insults from the juveniles are a badge of honor, feel free to keep them coming

It’s the fact that a Perfect pair of ’s eyes appears on the butterflies wings,
ow many mutations did it take for that to happen? Was it just one eye first then d part of the second eye and then the irises after?
Then the rest of the second eye?
And what about how far they are spaced apart, in perfect proportion. What luck!!!

Well.... you do seem loath to actually engage with people who are civil with you. Odd choice of correspondence you pick there Yukon.

As for 'Perfect eyes'? Really? Please, give examples or name the species of butterflies which have these 'Perfect' eye spots.

You also seem to be oblivious to the many studies done in regards to ascertaining the relative effectiveness that the butterflie's spots may or may not actually be efficacious.....
