Give me one beneficial mutation.

[Cabal]

I understand DNA very well, but it seems that most of you do not. If anyone knew the complexity of a single strand of DNA, you would know it would be impossible for it to spontaneously combust from gases.

For those of you who do not know the complexity of it, let me tell you. You would have a better chance of throwing paint in the air and it falling to the ground to paint an exact "Mona Lisa" painting, Now multiply that by 100.

It would be as though you remove all the letters from all the books in the U.S. Library of Congress, jumble them, and randomly place the letters back, creating an exact match.

But hey, it took billions of years right? So hey, just use your imagination.

As you did? No-one is claiming it spontaneously combusted.

This isn't creation ex nihilo here, c'mon.

Ok, I will do you a favor

The claims of birds evolving wings had intermediate stages, I'm curious, what were those stages.

I don't really think you are curious about the stages of the evolution of the avian wing. We could discuss intermediates like archaeopteryx, or the different stages of feathers found with theropod dinosaur fossils, or the fact that birds produce both scales and feathers just like their theropod ancestors did, but you really wouldn't care... would you?

As I am only remotely interested in the birds, I am very interested in the evolution of flying insects. Did these creatures also evolve from a dinosaur?

Wow... I nailed that one... didn't I?

I don't understand DNA very well

Now that would be an understatment.....
But given how you said the opposite, i have officially lost faith in humanity.

 

[sfs]

I've still yet to see a beneficial mutation.

Of course you haven't. All of those beneficial mutations that were listed for you, they didn't count because, um . . . LOOK! Over there! A bird wing! Spontaneously combusting DNA!

Right.

This just keeps getting better and better.

Well, he's right, it would be impossible for DNA to spontaneously combust from gasses.

 

[LifeToTheFullest!]

HS, would you consider trichromacy in primates to be a beneficial mutation?

Why or why not?

 

[sandwiches]

Well, he's right, it would be impossible for DNA to spontaneously combust from gasses.

Touché!

I understand DNA very well,

If you understood even the most basics of DNA you wouldn't be asking:

how about adding any letter besides a, c, g, or t.

but it seems that most of you do not. If anyone knew the complexity of a single strand of DNA, you would know it would be impossible for it to spontaneously combust from gases.

And who told you it "spontaneously combust from gases?" Do you even know what it means to spontaneously combust?



I'm seriously beginning to think that you suffer from some kind of mental illness.

I'll wait to respond to a post with any intelligence.

I guess that means you won't be responding to any of you own posts.

The stages of this thread:
1. Show me a beneficial mutation.
2. No, show me adding letters to the DNA code
3. No, show me how a bird's wing can evolve
4. No, show me how an insect's wing can evolve
5. I won't respond to any unintelligent posts (like my own)
FINAL Stage: /thread.

 

[LifeToTheFullest!]

Yep.

 

[SLP]

I've still yet to see a beneficial mutation.

I'm still waiting for you to demonstrate that you understand even the basics such that any attempt at discussing anything with you will not be a complete waste of time.

Add something other than A,T,G, or C? DNA combusting out of gas?


Give us a break.

Saw thread.
Came to post Lenski.
I am not disappointed.

Heaven-Sent has just presided over one of the poorest attempts at challenging evolution that I have seen for a long time.

Ask an uninformed question? check
Get a valid answer question that contradicts your assumption? Check
Ignore answer in deference to (now) invalid assumption? Check

PROFIT!
