Hi there,
EDIT (FROM END): So let me know what you think: the subject is basically "a life of mutation and a life of freedom from mutation, how do you think they compare?".
EDIT (FIRST CUT): So yes, first let me disclaim: I don't understand species as being any different from individuals, I don't understand species without every member of that species having agency and I don't understand why you would let a mutation go unchecked - on the assumption that good will happen elsewhere. That said: I am still interested in Evolution, because it has a versatility that I don't fully comprehend, in the light of God (why He allowed it, how much He allowed it, what He allowed it for). You may not like that I am only really interested in a layman's interpretation of the theory, on the other hand, if you really believed your theory: you wouldn't mind (the same goes for me and my faith: if you can't understand it, I will go to the brink of death, to make it easier for you).
Anyway, the short of it, is that I wish to surgically peel back the layers around Evolution, by starting with its smallest working "part": the mutation. I am of the belief that it is possible, by the power of God, to consistently and without fail interrupt mutations, from ever having an effect on the individual. Jesus is just one such example, of something that can be done more and more, through dependence on God. Being from God, I am not able to present this belief, without also providing a way for you to interpret it, that does not trap you and force you to reneg your belief - but that's ok, I'm interested in how you might look at it a different way myself! In this case, the difference of interpretation, is basically that if every mutation I ever had was intercepted, my perception of Evolution would be on hold!
What is interesting here, is that if Evolution is "on hold" (as I put it) it does not respond to selection pressure in cookie-cutter ways or it does but is manifestly therefore: not Evolution. Do you see what I am getting at, here? The creature whose Evolution is on hold, still survives, but not in keeping with differences to Evolution, purely survival as was originally "life" (as we may also assume now, is "greater" than life (selah)). The short of it being, that mutation is something we struggle with, in this life, not in another and if we have faith in another, who is free of mutations - such as JESUS - then we have begun to transcend "Evolution", because we are free of the subtext that we are somehow "slaves to the need for mutation to mean something" (something that it can never mean "without God").
I feel like I could say more, at this point, but I don't want to starting talking about life without mutations, until you are on board with the idea, that maybe your survival is not as "at stake" as you might have been tempted to say. I have struggled with this, and I find the best answer is to let other people who dream up defences to Evolution, to have their own say - first - that in the final assessment those that want to be judged by their own word, can seek to be so, without being judged - that is, in the sense that somehow "Evolution" is incomplete, or uncompetitive (let's just leave it there; I could say more, but the more I said would be 'disingenuously' more of my own ideas about how Evolution develops its own agency). The creativity of this, also, should be given it's own space - as I have reciprocated, here.
