Replication is not a requirement for evolution, only mutation/change and selection.

Huh? Then how did those first cells ever survive long enough to 'mutate'?

Note the number of articles posted here on FR on new findings in biology that bolster evolution.

A blatant lie. I have been asking you and your fellow evolutionists for a single (1) example of a major biological discovery favoring evolution for months. None of you folks has been able to give such an example the reason is because.



EVOLUTION IS PSEUDOSCIENCE FOR MORONS

Replication is one of the mechanisms by which biological (and some chemical systems) effect mutation/change. Evolution is only predicated on differentiation and a selection function. The mechanisms used to generate the required differentiation are system dependent and not particularly relevant to evolution per se.
