By chance?
RE: By chance?
Unlike tinker-god, there's evidence of my intervention. Wink
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

So it sounds like someone here believes that due to happenstance that mutations occur, all the ones that were needed DID occur. What a perfect world!
For that giraffe to be able to sustain and take advantage of his long neck, a myriad of previous lucky mutations fell right into place.
Who’s that gullible.

As for protein production and the sheer magnitude of odds needed to be overcome for just one to come into existence ....
Assume only 200 proteins are needed for life (it is up to 387 plus RNA entities)
Good luck!!!

We know that the ones we need did occur. If we needed Good Luck™...then fine, but we obviously had Good Luck™.......because......


.....................here we are..............

Does that make the world perfect? Probably not. Certainly not in the context of your own beliefs, right? I think we can both agree that we don't live in a perfect world, lol.

It's reached a point were he thinks just repeating his opinion counts as an argument

I think he reached that point before he got here.....but he's arguing against his own silly opinions at this point. He also thinks that we got all the mutations that we need in a lucky world, he just thinks that god touched us in our no-wheres to make that happen. Nothing about god touching us in the right no-wheres makes this world perfect, again in his own opinion, so...you know, what gives, whats the problem, aside from biology not needing his handsy god to operate?

What you're neglecting to notice is the trillions upon trillions of mutations that occur and get weeded out by natural selection.  Inimical mutations make an organism less likely to live long enough to breed and pass that onto an offspring.  Advantageous mutations do just the opposite.

So we’re there billions and billions of giraffes in the making to choose from trillions of mutations? Really now
