Without chance mutations, natural selection is totally meaningless. Chance is the engine and my how lucky mammals have been and all by chance, just like the butterfly w owls eyes!

Yes, you are the misguided fool. ‘Chance’, in the form of mutations isn’t the engine, it’s the fuel. Selection is the engine.
You’re correct in saying that without chance mutations, selection is meaningless. This is because there would be nothing to select for. Selection is the method by which favourable mutations are preserved and inimical ones are weeded out. And THAT is what makes natural selection a non-random process.

1.It's not no matter how much you repeat it
2.You have already admitted your whole argument is a fallacy .So you already lost.
3.Selection isn't meaningless
4.Yes you are a misguided fool who relies on logical fallacies

As far as living creation coming into existence, EVOLUTION it’s ALL CHANCE mutations, the engine of evolution Amusing, Yukon. You are deploying a false dichotomy and you seem unaware that you are doing it.
Evolution is not chance. You are too thick to work that out.

Yeah, just another creationist claiming to be able to overturn all of observed biological science, then demonstrates he has no clue about what he's talking about.
Nothing more to see here...
Move along...
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Evolution is overturned. I’m still going out for a curry and an atheist.

It's funny how people think volcanology is the study of volcanoes, when it is actually a super-duper-ultra-mega-top-secret government plot to hybridize the green blood of the Spocks with human DNA to create emotionless super soldiers.

In addition, even if evolution was overturned tomorrow, and everything that was thought to be known about evolutionary biology, needed to be thrown out, that would NOT get us one step closer to providing evidence for a god or gods being responsible for the diversity of life. Or even the origin of life, for that matter.
Creationists have a hard time understanding this simple point.
Your hypothesis has to be supported with demonstrable and falsifiable evidence, on its own. No amount of your argument from ignorance and argument from personal incredulity fallacies you post will ever get to, "and therefore god".

Mutation is random. Evolution is not. Learn about the guiding process that is natural selection before yapping.

@ Yukon_Jack Explain the penguin. Did some flightless bird tup god's mom so that he cursed them to dwell in a frozen hell? Or are we dealing with the sort of mentally deficient designer that builds a submarine starting with an aircraft chassis?

There really isn't much more to read, mate...
Posting your own admission for you again, Yukon_jack.
Y'know, in case you missed it the second time.
Not at work.
