How many...

[Ark-Guy]

Here's a question that I suppose will be hard to answer.

How many mutations would have been required to have occured in the proto-dolphins linage all the way up to the current dolphin to form their echo-location system?

Just a few like a dozen or so?

A couple hundred?

A few thousand?

A few hundred thousand?

Perhaps a million?

Billion?

more????

Probably not that many. If you are a clever little boy you can find info about this on the internet.

You know some blind people are very good at sensing things utilising echoes. And yet I doubt you're arguing they have had mutations to do so.

There's no set amount of mutations that are required for a given thing to appear, if that's what you're getting at.

 

[Ark-Guy]

Nope, just curious as to a ball park number of mutations required to create such a system.

Yeah Sparrow, they're real good at projecting sound waves out of their forehead then collecting them as they echo back into their jaw.

Ark-Guy, how many cell divisions did you, as a fetus, undergo before you had a functioning liver? Do you know?

If you don't know then is that reasonable basis for doubting that you underwent cell divisions in order to create your liver? Is your ignorance regarding the number evidence for special creation regarding your liver?

If the answer is 'no' to both of the last two questions then can I ask what you are trying to accomplish with this question?
