We know genes suffer mutation from cosmic radiation alone over time, (among other reasons) another argument against evolution, thanks for reminding me. Most mutations are deleterious to the organism, if not all. We just found the DNA "code" (who is the code maker?) in 1952, and you already know everything about it? Including what is junk or not? This is what happens when you sip at the cup of Darwin, pretty soon you are drunk on an arrogance and assumption that you know it all.

The vitamin C mutation is shared by the great apes. If you deny evolution, you are faced with the implausible coincidence that chimpanzees, gorillas and humans suffered exact the same mutation in exactly the same gene at exactly the same place.

I don't know everything, but I do know that if three similar species had exactly the same mutation in the same place in their genomes, odds are it was one mutation in a common ancestor of all three.

Not at all. if you ask me the probability that you exist, i say it's 1.0; because, after all, you do.

You should take up bridge. In bridge, even if only a miracle lie of the cards can let you win the hand, you play that lie, because after all, what's the point in losing by the most probable method? Likewise, all your probability calculations have to, in the end, consider the fact that you do in fact exist.

Those genes in all the same species could have all been designed...neither you or I have any way of knowing whether it was a mutation or designed. Which do you think is more likely?
