I can see why you believe that chance always begins at ground zero. It is the way you think. The questions I have raised regarding the ratchet mechanism of variation and selection have been ignored and sidestepped, but not discussed.

Well, I am doing so now and discuss it in a couple of posts. Basically there is no Junk DNA which is what you are hanging your hat on. All DNA has a purpose. That is why mutations hurt the organism - they make a necessary part of it unusable. This is contrary to survival of the fittest and all that. Read the article one or two posts above this one and come back to me.

Perhaps you have a proof of this? Show us where the non-coding regions of the human genome have a purpose.
