[QUOTE="Micaiah, post: 797009, member: 6011"] I responded to an analogy you provided to illustrate how evolution occurs. You have acknowledged it has a flaw. One of the other flaws is the notion that you begin with a number of the same mutations. In reality, that is very unlikely, as you have rightly pointed out. If you look at my post above I did raise the possibility of the scenario of a mutation being passed onto subsequent generations. You must then also consider the chance of survival in the calculation. Still no estimates on how many of the same mutations you could expect in a population such as the one we're discussing in one generation. Are you saying that you would only ever expect to get one? I would like this question answered before moving on to the other scenario mentioned where you have a mutation being passed onto other generations. [/QUOTE]
