>>its still all theory not factual proof.<<

You need to do some studying — a “theory” is the highest form of scientific analysis.

It is only laypeople who think it is just a guess writ large.

"its still all theory not factual proof."

Strictly speaking, in terms of scientific philosophy, there is no "factual proof" of any theory. Technically, there are only hypotheses which have not yet been disproved.

I mention this in answer to those who claim "Evolutionism" is just another "religion." It's not. It's a theory with lots of factual data to support it, and hypotheses which have never been disproved.

The data comes from virtually every scientific field -- biology, geology, chemistry, paleontology, genetics, physics, astronomy, etc., etc.

Now the idea of "random mutations" is itself evolving from hypothesis to theory, to scientific data -- as demonstrated by this particular article.

When "random mutations" can be measured, quantified, analyzed and tracked, then the idea is no longer a hypothesis or even a theory, but simply confirmed scientific data.

btw, great work freedumb2003. Much enjoy and appreciate what you do. :-)
