Things do not evolve by myriads of simultaneous mutations. You are ignoring the fact that mutation and evolution are now experimental science. we can now track the exact history of mutations and adaptations.

It’s really no longer necessary to build hypothetical scenarios or to argue about whose assumptions are unfounded.

The pregame show is over. Grab some popcorn.

[[Things do not evolve by myriads of simultaneous mutations.]]

I didn’t say they did- You are misrepresentign what I said- You DO however need to htrow a myriad of mutaitosn at the whole genome in order to bring about changes (Adaptive MICROEvolution) changes. As you know, some mutaitons will ‘stick’ while others will be handled and discarded, or thrown off, and others still will remain neutral i nthe system.

[[we can now track the exact history of mutations and adaptations.]]

We sure can, and wonder of wonders, it shows MICROEvolution- just as it should. Not sure why you are tryign to claim these experiments and trackings ‘close hte show’ on MACROEvolution? They have absolutely nothign to do with macroevolution- I’ve got my popcorn, but it appears the Macroevos are refusing to play the game, claiming falsely that there’s nothign to discuss when it’s becoming more and more evident that there really is a serious problem with MACROEvoluionary changes being biologically possible or not..

It’s the equivilent of “Yuo guys aren’t playing fair- Macroevolution is an ‘established fact’ and that is that! I’m takign my ball and and going home if you persist in questioning that!”
