Adaption and evolution are two different things. Variation within a species is provable.....check out the finches.

Evolution, a wholesale jump it genetic material and the resultant new form is unsupportable on its face. I have never read where a mutation was ever anything but fatal for the mutant. That's considering one gene change...imagine a entirely different life form which intails many, many gene mutations and they are all not only non-fatal but beneficial to the mutant. That idea stretches the credulity of even the anti-God types.....maybe not.

So to make adaptaion within a species and evolution equilevant is just an unclear view of the discussion.

Does this add anything?

Absolutely wrong.

Google sickle cell anemia and Thalasemia and start learning. You have a lot of catching up to do.

Thanks for the info. It adds plenty and it is just what I want. I am trying to filter out agenda driven crap, lies and bromides from this topic. Thanks again.
