Creationists, is this what you understand about mutation rates..?

Question

Gene mutations result in new alleles, and are the source of variation within populations. Gene mutations are ultimately behind the other mechanisms that provide variation. Due to DNA replication and DNA repair mechanisms, mutation rates of individual genes are low, but since each organism has many genes, and a population has many individuals, new mutations arise in populations all the time. So, mutations are relatively common, and the mutation rate is an adequate source of new alleles. High levels of molecular variation are common in natural populations, although many mutations (usually recessive) are hidden.

The mutation rate varies greatly among species and even among genes of an individual. Mutations are caused by errors in DNA replication, chemicals, or radiation. Large scale effects of mutation result only when mutation is combined with other factors that reshuffle the gene pool.

Selection acts on individuals, not their individual genes. Sexual reproduction increases variation by reshuffling the genetic information from parents into new combinations in their offspring. Mutations produce new alleles.

This is what you call "evolutionists" are actually talking about, but is it the same as what you're talking about..?

LOL, thanks for the laugh HypnoPope, a very apt analogy.. LOL...

Answer 1

This is like explaining advanced theoretical physics to lemurs.

Answer 2

See, this is what happens when you go beyond the surface of the complicated issues that certain groups try to deny. You scare away the less-knowledgeable and the ones that are actually in the know make sarcastic remarks about the ignorant, who also show up just to showcase their ignorance by continuing to profess faith in the face of that big bad science bully.

Answer 3

Doubtful.

Answer 4

I agree that creator made everything the way it is. But some prophet 2,000 years ago has nothing to do with it. Your christ was a prophet, not creator's son.

Answer 5

Those who say things like Primoa are willfully ignorant. Can you not see that denial of facts does not make them any less true?

Answer 6

All you need to know is that believing in evolution will lead you to being tortured in hell. Nothing else matters. Would you rather be in heaven with Jesus or learn science from Satan and burn in hell. If mutations and DNA are so real why isn't it mentioned in the bible?

Answer 7

Now could you repeat that in English?

Mutations.....sputations......crutons...
who cares?
I know that God is the Creator of all things......

Answer 8

Thanks professor. Primoa cannot possibly be serious.
