• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I asked my 15 year old son and he got it right the first time. I'm sure you can figure it out without me.

is mutations trivial? I would think so, nor would I believe they were "formal"

And I gave you one. Do you want more?

Cockroaches Mutate to Find Sweet Glucose Bait Bitter - Tested

New function.

I will however repeat my unanswered question. Do you know what a mutation is?

He wants non trivial, normal operation, publically formal.....you know what He wants and yet you provide mutation.

mutations are always negative, never adding new information to the gene pool. So yes I know what mutations are.

what he was asking for was not random, a process that naturally occurs.

I gave you a non-trivial, normal operation, publically formal (whatever that means) example.

I will ask again, for the third time, do you know what a mutation is?

Totally incorrect.....who was cutting school when they should have been attending biology class...!?

The majority of mutations are benign. From your picture, you appear to be a parent...? That child of yours possesses somewhere between 100-200 mutations in his/her genome that don't appear in either of the parents. Chances are that all of those mutations are neutral.

Some, however, convey harmful effects...we are all familiar with stories of individual children afflicted with genetic abnormalities. Occasionally, however, the mutation conveys a beneficial effect -eg, the development of lighter pigmented skin being selected in humans which live further from the equator - permits effective production of vitamin D in a weaker sun exposure. These beneficial mutations tend to persist and spread through the genetic population, as they confer a reproductive advantage, whereas the harmful ones (literally) die out....

ok to prove what I know about mutations,

I will ask you one question.

Do you have any mutation to illustrate the failure of the ID peer review, that actually adds information to the genetic code, in that it is positive.

thats what He's talking about, not some random non beneficial happenstance.

actually it's partially correct, in that mutations don't give any new information to the genetic code so evolutionary wise, they are useless.
