all known mutations are detrimental.

That's a howler. There's always a hope you might evolve into lightocean. You creationist guys are just like the anti-Corpernican folks of yore. Guess what, the earth rotates around the sun. Our galaxy is at the fringe of one of billions of galaxies. Life evolved on this planet over a period of 5 billion years. I'm sorry if you faith is so fragile that you cannot handle it.

Like I say, the normal English term for mutation is "birth defect". Have you ever heard anybody talking about "birth enhancements", as in "My little Suzy is making straight A's in school because of that birth enhancement" (i.e. because of some supposedly beneficial mutation like being born with two heads), and supposing also that two heads are better than one for taking tests in school?

For that matter, have you ever had the ladies from the Mothers' March of Dimes come to your door asking for money for research to CAUSE mutations? My own experience has been that they're always asking for money for research to prevent them.
