Is this how you think evolution works? Please explain how you came to this conclusion?

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.
'.... evolved in a haphazard, purposeless manner.'
No pictures?
You used to respond with pictures.
I'll use the term 'hand wave' in a little different way. Science hand 'waives' these changes into existence. The process by which these changes are believed to occur are way too fantastic. Just diagramming a single one of millions, if not billions, of changes that must occur in a single evolving organism would probably take a ream of paper.
Will miracles do?Has anyone yet arrived at an acceptable alternative to the obvious conclusion, without calling upon one magical intervention or another?

You commit what is known as a Serial Trials logical fallacy. You assume that those changes must take place, one after the other, within a particular organism. What you fail to recognise is that many, many mutations are taking place across the entire population of a species at any one point in time and that the changes caused by these mutations then move through the species as a whole.
In other words, the changes occur in parallel, rather than in series.

So? You do realize that change is inevitable, don't you? For example you have 150 to 175 changes in your DNA from the DNA that your mother and father shared. There is an average of 150 to 175 mutations per person in our genome. Luckily for us the vast number of mutations are not harmful, they are neutral.That doesn't negate the fact that millions of changes must take place within a single organism.

a billion mutations.No luckily for us that DNA repair mechanism to prevent such happenings in the first place catch most of them, by repairing some, neutralizing others, and some that don't kill the host accidentally makes it better. Say what, 1 in a billion? Since it took over a billion mutations for E coli to process citrus solely?
No, what I stated is a testable and observed fact:No luckily for us that DNA repair mechanism to prevent such happenings in the first place catch most of them, by repairing some, neutralizing others, and some that don't kill the host accidentally makes it better.

Are you intimating that evolution works in a deliberate manner according to purpose?

All mutations are small changes. The fact is that there are more than enough changes per generation to account for evolutionary differences between various species. Remember that a whole species evolves, not just one individual or one line of descent. That means for people right not there are over One Trillion mutations per generation. Of course this is not quite fair since our population is higher now than it has ever been.I assume that these 'mutations' are just small changes that prevent us being identical copies, clones, of our parents and give each of us our unique identity. Heck, if were God I'd put that in too.

Or we could just accept the evidence and that two different breeds of the same Kind mate and produce a third breed which would logically explain the missing links that are missing.
You know, in real life, like we see with say the Husky and English Mastiff producing the Chinook? Or are real examples versus imaginary ones not good enough?
