no I'm not jumping the gun. Mutations surely happen and they surely have a physiological effect, but mutations are almost always destroyers.
Again, this is wrong. Mutations are mostly harmless. At least two third of them won't do anything. A lot of them will furthermore only affect rate of expression, which is what you want with epigenetics. Well, mutations can do that to. Lastly, mutations can be beneficial and if they are, those will spread. This has been documented.
They degenerate organisms, not generate them.
They can indeed degenerate organisms. Those that do are weeded out by natural selection. Those that don't, do nothing or make the organism thrive.
Mind, on the otherhand DOES generate organisms -- it started at conception, where the mind went about the process of expressing genes and building the person.
So you believe bacteria have minds?
Cells have to somehow know where to go and what to do..each cell contains the same genetic blueprint -- same dna -- so something else must be guiding them to construct the person from a non-person...aka from the sperm/egg collision.
And that something is chemicals. Every cell sends out signals to other cells. Based on those signals, DNA is triggered to produce certain proteins. This leads to different instructions turned on or off. This has nothing to do with mind but all with chemical reactions and electrical signals. This is quite well understood, you should study up on it.
As life continues, the mind is always in control of biological function.
No, it is not. Most processes in your body go on without your mind in control. They just go automatically.
It uses its genes like a construction worker uses his tools. The tools don't build the structure, the mind behind the builder does. Evos deny the builder, though, in an attempt to prop up a bum theory. but if the mind indeed controls the production of adaptive traits in humans and in other animals, then ToE is good for nothing but the wastebasket.
As Assyrian noted, your thoughts are very much New Age and very little Christian. Furthermore, your mind does very little in this. Mostly it is automatic reactions based on chemics, electric pathways etcetera. Again, this is quite well understood, so why you would want to ignore that data is beyond me.
