"Factors in the environment are thought to influence the rate of mutation but are not generally thought to influence the direction of mutation. For example, exposure to harmful chemicals may increase the mutation rate, but will not cause more mutations that make the organism resistant to those chemicals. In this respect, mutations are random?whether a particular mutation happens or not is generally unrelated to how useful that mutation would be."
By: SuperFinGuy. on 23 Dec 08, 07:14:19
"MUTATION is random" No it is not. Mutation is induced. It is called mutagenesis. This has been proven in the lad, while random mutation is just an after the fact rationalization.
By: XCHAPYEG. on 20 Dec 08, 19:39:22
I believe in both God and the evolution theory. Intellegent Design, anyone?
By: Jeremyguru. on 19 Dec 08, 06:20:23
Proof? It's been proven to the point of over-kill. Go study science. You'll find all the evidence you'll ever need. It's not my job to teach you science. It's YOUR responsibility to get an education. You've already demonstrated the you don't even understand basic science terms. Go learn.
By: dtlegend72. on 19 Dec 08, 00:00:02
im also talkin about the definition of true science that it must be repeatable,recordable, and tanjable
By: dtlegend72. on 18 Dec 08, 23:56:13
you still said nature chooses youve just given it a mind
By: dtlegend72. on 18 Dec 08, 23:54:10
u still havent answered my question what is your proof
By: cariosus. on 18 Dec 08, 12:21:09
It's a misconception... MUTATION is random. Having a gene that makes animals faster won't mutate/exist sooner because it's useful, but if/when it DOES mutate, nature "chooses" it because that gene has an obvious advantage over "slow" genes. So that gene lives on in fast animals that reproduce because they have a higher fitness than slow ones. ("Fitness" in Biology)
By: Jeremyguru. on 18 Dec 08, 02:06:05
Again, you show your complete ignorance of basic science. Yes, evolution is a "theory" just like atomic theory, gravitational theory and germ theory. Do you not believe in atoms, gravity or germs? You need to go to school and learn what a SCIENTIFIC THEORY means.
By: dtlegend72. on 18 Dec 08, 01:37:08
hmm u know i thought evolution was supposed to be random and yet the very words "natural selection" means nature chooses
By: dtlegend72. on 18 Dec 08, 01:30:41
i didnt say they were always harmful i said they ethier hurt u or dont effect u but there has never been a mutation that helped u
By: dtlegend72. on 18 Dec 08, 01:25:35
why do you call me ignorant do you even have any proof to back up what u r sayin Ohh and by technical terms, evolution is not science IT IS THEORY
By: 45a66. on 17 Dec 08, 02:32:20
was that about the dinosaw? No, think it was somrones birthday, well, anyway give the radiation back to nature, I would like to see this gripdinosawhawk after this stoneage. good hunting.
By: Jeremyguru. on 16 Dec 08, 19:33:14
The only problem with evolutionary theory is that you clearly don't understand it. Go get an education.
By: Jeremyguru. on 16 Dec 08, 19:32:24
"...mutations r never helpful..." That is not true. You are ignorant. Please go get a basic science education at a proper university...and I don't mean bible "school."
By: DanBen514. on 16 Dec 08, 06:29:47
mutations are not always hurtful at all..
By: MaleficMalice. on 15 Dec 08, 04:04:36
Could you clarify what it is you're trying to say? No one will take your opinion seriously they can't understand you.
By: dtlegend72. on 15 Dec 08, 02:24:21
this video is rediculous mutations r never helpful and always hurtful or nuetral and neo-darwinism wasnt even darwins theory it was devries
By: GoodScienceForYou. on 14 Dec 08, 22:31:22
The theroy of evolution is a complete false premise that any creatures have ever evolved in the natural world in to other species or from other genus. It is the most ridiculous mass hysteria on the planet. How stupid is it to follow a belief and call it "science"?
By: Laspher. on 05 Dec 08, 20:17:07
Pfft Bible stories OWNS.
By: Howie47. on 04 Dec 08, 13:33:46
Sickle cell proves my rule also. It is naturally deselected from populations removed from epidemic malaria locations. In these single point diseases, modern medicine has interrupted natural selection. By allowing longer life of the victims, and encouraging their continued reproduction. However we don't see these single point mutations accumulating into new morphological characteristics. (super humans) Doesn't happen, the idea is a lame fairy tale.
By: cariosus. on 03 Dec 08, 20:29:45
If you believe this, you've simply misunderstood the nature of DNA, evolution, natural selection, mutations and Neo-Darwinism. ps. sickle cell anemia
By: Howie47. on 03 Dec 08, 14:08:35
DNA has a mechanism that prevents most point mutations from being passed on. Natural selection, 'weeds out', harmful mutations over time. To be abopted, mutations must be instantly beneficial to survival. That isn't observed. Isn't tangible. But is the only hope of DEAD Neo-Darwinism. Which is the only hope of the God, ignorant materialist.
By: cariosus. on 03 Dec 08, 11:08:26
"Genetic (deformities) are rarely passed on" Deny the big bang, abiogenesis, evolution, etc. all you want. But to say "deformities" are "rarely passed on" (and back it up with 'no 2 headed snakes') boggles my mind. Please read a Biology book. Please. ...You do realize that two headed snakes are in fact two snakes, no? Tell me that was a joke.
