Random mutations

[CabVet]

Is there any such thing - in genetic engineering - as an artifical mutation, which is directed and controlled rather than random?

Yes, site-directed, or site-specific mutagenesis. It is achieved during artificial replication of DNA, and usually involves multiple complicated steps like DNA cleavage and ligation. There is no indication that it happens under natural conditions.

Just like evolution….

As you can see, population was almost constant (i.e. at carrying capacity) between 10,000 and 5,000 BC. A far cry from your claim of constant population growth since the flood.

No citation for where it came from? I see a lot of data points, were they from direct census data?

Rick thanks for the links… But two of these were not in English. One is speculation on human population verses plant diversity and density (seems to be a doctoral thesis). The last one looked interesting but they wanted money for the complete article.

CabVet…

Here is a population graph I Like. It seems that there is not much consensus in the world population curve. Sorry but I will not accept the evolution circular reasoning on this.

By the way here is the real research on population since Noah.
