[QUOTE="Speedwell, post: 71650547, member: 387171"] Does it? One of the problems which arises with the careless habit of referring to the theory as evolution by [I]mutation[/I] and natural selection is that it misrepresents the role of genetic mutations in the process. Natural selection acts on[I] random variation[/I]--to which mutations contribute but are not the sole cause. One can easily form the mistaken impression by this careless use that species morphology is static until a mutation strikes a single individual. Even worse, I have seen creationists argue that random heritable variation is distinct from mutation as a source of selectable variants. [/QUOTE]
