Well that is just swell. Now be sure to let me know when your religion is converted to faith. Where you trust the Bible more than the works of man.

Have you ever heard the expression?

‘Religion is man made, but faith is a gift from God’

And you have not - nor your links - convinced me mutations are good. Just surviving and/or mutating does not confer some new macro-evolution where the DNA is completely re-written. All life is devolving and extinctions are a matter of fact in the historical record. Isn’t it something like 99.9% of all life forms are now extinct?

Previously almost the entire Christian world thought the Bible indicated that the Earth did not move and that all observable celestial objects (the Sun and the planets) were in orbit around the Earth.

What changed?

So if you previously answered the question about error prone DNA polymerase what other possible answer could you have had other than that in the context of a bacteria under stress “mutations are good”?

Yes, more than 99.9% of all the species that ever existed upon the Earth are now extinct. There is absolutely no evidence that they went extinct due to mutation.

All life is not “devolving”. Nor does “macro” evolution (i.e. speciation and the common descent of species) involve DNA being “completely re-written” - there is after all only a 2% difference in genetic DNA between a chimp and a human - a 2% change in genetic DNA is hardly “completely re-written”.

Do you think a bacteria under stress expresses error prone DNA polymerase in order to increase its rate of “deevolution”? Why would that lead to better survival outcomes?

Does your inability to make any coherent sense of reality in the context of your Creationist views trouble you?

It should.
