Sorry, not buying it. And I done a lot more research than you’ll ever know.

Extinctions are often caused by deleterious mutations.

Although rare, fatal mutations can be copied into the offspring [obviously they are not immediately fatal].

Furthermore, for all mutations, the beneficial mutations number approx 1 in a million.

Geee....I've been actually educated in the matter instead of doing "research" on creation sites.

I'd LOVE to hear about an extinction of an entire species because of a deleterious mutation....or even a string of deleterious mutations. Ever taken population biology/genetics? Rhetorical question.

Wow....fatal mutations can be "copied" into offspring? Must be a computer programming term, as we like to say that mutations would be "passed on to" or "inherited by" offspring. ...but ya don't say...must be some sort of genetics master to come up with a brainchild like mutations, even bad ones being passed on to offspring. Whoduthunkit!!!

Furthermore, for all mutations, the beneficial mutations number approx 1 in a million.

LOVE to see where this number comes from.....but say that's right. Take one trillion years from now.....that's 5 million beneficial mutations.......but that's with ONE individual having ONE offspring per generation and then dying.

....and I don't really care what you "buy" when in the world of Man walking with meat eating dinosaurs. "Research" indeed....
