Not why, how.
Again though: that's not you making a 'reasonable assumption'. That's you asking a question. Do you even know what an assumption is?
So answer the question.
No, because you said, in response to the question "What "reasonable assumption" do you refer?" you replied "For example how does evolution explain growth?"
That's not you making a reasonable assumption. That's not even an assumption. That's just you asking a question.
Do you even have a reasonable assumption, as you think it is?
Revisit my last post. I edited it.
Every mathematical "proof" I have seen begins with a false premise. One only needs to identify the false premise and the "proof" falls apart.Not proof, but reasonable assumption.
How is better. "Why" often implies a purpose when there is none to be found.Not why, how.
These mathematical "proofs" never seem to get published by reputable sources. Wonder why?
And yet you constantly fail to support this claim. Is it any wonder that creationists are not taken seriously?No need for odds. Evolution is impossible.

You'll have to point it out. Nothing in that link tells us that individuals evolve during their lifetimes.

No, it begins with natural selection acting on randomly distributed variation.I deleted that post in favor of a different question.
Q. Does evolution begin with mutation?
No, it begins with natural selection acting on randomly distributed variation.
That's correct. Each offspring is slightly different than it's parent and taking the population as a whole, each new generation presents a range of variants to the environment for selection.So without randomly distributed variation (in organisms I assume?) there is no evolution?

Not especially complex, no. Just one capable of reproducing with variation. A single simple cell would do it. It would not have to be anywhere near as complex as modern single cell creatures like bacteria.So a very complex organism, capable of reproducing, must be present before the process can begin? This seems to be the consensus of all the articles I've read as well.
