"Since [human] babies are just a few mutations away from a monkey"

No one with even a basic understanding of the Theory of Evolution would ever claim this to be the case. Strawman arguments make up the vast majority of anti-evolution arguments, primarily because those wishing to discredit the ToE have little or no evidence to support whatever it is they believe. That's perfectly alright; people can believe whatever it is they like. If someone out there wishes to believe that I created the world and all the life on it, let me know and I'll tell you all about how I did it. That doesn't mean they get to take my story and use it to play on science's playground. Science has standards and requires evidence and reproducable processing and analysis of that evidence before you even get a foot in the door.

The Theory of Evolution is far from perfect, but thus far it is the best model we have to explain the changes which have occured to life on this Earth. If someone comes up with a theory that makes the pieces of the puzzle fit together better than they do under the ToE, I'll be happy to take a look at it. If there are testable predictions made by it, that's even better. Thus far, every idea seeking to compete with the ToE has been left wanting.

Ok so a few mutations or a few million big deal. Humans are just another link on an evolutionary chain according to scienc. So why would science care if human babies are killed. They are just as good a piece of scientific material as a monkey or a rat. What am I missing?
