The basic problem is that Darwinists don't understand two very important scientific principles. One, mutational change occurs at the molecular level. The vast majority of mutations (deletions, tranlocations, duplications etc,) are lethal. Two, mutations occur at random so that even if the effects of a primary mutation were not lethal, there is no assurrance that there would ever be a secondary mutation let alone that it would "build" upon the primary event.
The mere concept of hundreds / thousands / millions/ of "repetitive" "positive" mutations eventually ending in a complex organism is highly unlikely. Speciation? Yes. But there is NO proof of MacroEvolution across Classes, Orders, or Families.
Doesn't it ever occur to anyone WHY Darwinists are so frightened of anyone offering an alternative theory? WHY they are so petrified of mere ideas? These are people who live in perpetual fear that someone may eventually come along someday and destroy their perfect, godless, secular, egomanaical world,...and wouldn't that just be a shame.......

"The vast majority of mutations (deletions, tranlocations, duplications etc,) are lethal."
Not true. Most are neutral.
"Two, mutations occur at random so that even if the effects of a primary mutation were not lethal, there is no assurrance that there would ever be a secondary mutation let alone that it would "build" upon the primary event."
That implies that there is a goal to *build* to. This is not necessary.
"The mere concept of hundreds / thousands / millions/ of "repetitive" "positive" mutations eventually ending in a complex organism is highly unlikely. Speciation? Yes. But there is NO proof of MacroEvolution across Classes, Orders, or Families."
How can you have speciation if you believe that most mutations are deleterious? Why would speciation not eventually end up with new orders, classes, and such? If you have given up the idea of the fixity of species by admitting speciation, what do you say is the genetic stop sign denying higher taxonomic change?

WE are not the frightened ones. :)
"These are people who live in perpetual fear that someone may eventually come along someday and destroy their perfect, godless, secular, egomanaical world,...and wouldn't that just be a shame......."
There, the REAL reason you fear evolution. :)

Maybe because they are afraid of losing their guaranteed gov't job (i.e., tenured college professors).
