Hi, folks. I was just discussing evolution with a very intelligent Creationist over on the Religion and Spirituality board & then through private emails and s/he made me really examine my belief in evolution. So I'm coming to learn a bit more about what I profess to believe.

Is the primary driving force behind macroevolution mutations? And in primates, since we only give birth to one every 9 months per fertile female, the mutation would have to be either dominant - and thus, wouldn't it eventually eclipse the non-mutated creature, or there would have to be a mass mutation with a sudden spike in births with the mutation, right? Can that - in primates that produce offspring so slowly - actually result in divergent evolution?

Sorry if this is a really stupid question. Please put it in terms that an English major will understand! Thanks!

And I also ask. What is genetic mutation? Has any mutation been prooved to benefit an animal other than a freakish way, and if so is there any proof that this mutation has been passed on to descendents or become a strong trait? Also while you are at it, is there any evidence that genetic mutation is decreasing in frequency or varies over long periods of time? Is there any evidence that shows a complex genetic mutation of something like an ear or an eye? Are any microscopic organisms evolving from one organism to another? Are the organisms that are non solar energy dependent descendants of solare dependant organisms?

You body can absorb and break down objects placed into your body without having to be processed by you stomach. Can you shove things up other orifices (anus, uterus, etc) and sustain yourself that way?
