Some do however need to know a little about evolution. Especially those studing viruses.

Do viruses mutate into into something else, like a blade of grass or an elephant, or do they stay a virus?

They get right into the cells where they link up with the DNA, hold hands and sing kumbaya.

They mutate using recombination. Why do CRIDers think TOE says something from one kingdom can change into something else from another entirely different kingdom?From what I know, scientists and taxonomists are still debating which kingdom a virus fits into.

Those damn scientists. Everything was so much easier to classify under the "kinds" system. (and before anyone says it, yeah I'm aware that Carl Linnaeus was probably a creationist that believed in God. )
