mutation reference?

oh that's right, there isn't one.

You need to change the word "evolved" into "changed" in your above sentence, as there is no evolution without a dna sequence change causing the said trait.
Huh? Evolution = change. What are you talking about?

This evolution -- you know, evolution by natural selection that Darwin wrote about? You should study up on it sometime...just for a laugh if nothing else.

http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-intro-to-biology.html

The process of evolution can be summarized in three sentences: Genes mutate. [gene: a hereditary unit] Individuals are selected. Populations evolve.


ToE does not define evolution as simply "change." If that were the case, if I stepped outside in the sun and got a tan then I would be evolving. You've got lots of reading to do. The lizards in question did not mutate, (their dna did not change) therefore there was no "evolution," as defined by Talk Origins -- instead, they just changed.

Right, it's not simply change. It's heritable change in populations through time. And this is. There ya go.

I think the most likely explanation for the car's existence is a whole bunch of relatively intelligent, but ultimately flawed, selfish and altogether mortal designers put some time and effort into creating a car.

Clearly, the universe is much bigger, so we need correspondingly more designers. Clearly, noone really knew what they wanted either, so they were probably also less intelligent.

At this point, you're deliberately misunderstanding what you're being told.
