Guided mutations

[Mercer (John Mercer)]

@Elliot_Mudd

I didn’t say mutations explain ALL evolution.

Let’s focus. You were talking about Behe, not your own opinion. You very clearly wrote:

@Elliot_Mudd

Mike Behe accepts common ancestry, but rejects the idea that random mutations can explain all of evolutionary history.

@Elliot_Mudd

Only that he [Behe] doesn’t think that random alone can explain all evolution.

@Elliot_Mudd

I meant to say behe doesn’t think that random MUTATIONS alone can explain all evolution.

This is silly, including your claiming to know the thoughts of others.

Given your vocabulary, I suspect that you don’t have much of a handle on evolutionary mechanisms. That’s why I asked the question:

@Mercer

What do you think is the ratio of existing variation to new mutations in a mammalian population?

Do you think populations are somehow “waiting” for new mutations before evolution occurs, as Behe appears to think?
