“Evolution is easy” because living organisms come equipped with built-in mechanisms that boost mutation rates, shuffle genes, or transfer DNA – effectively smoothing the path for adaptation. Examples of such mechanisms are SOS response, horizontal gene transfer, stress induced movements of mobile genetic elements, duplications, epigenetic modifications, developmental plasticity, CRISPR-CAS, masking/releasing cryptic genetic variations, genome restructuring during interspecific hybridization, meiotic recombination etc.
I’ve written about these mechanisms in an earlier thread.
What is the creative power of evolution without these built-in mechanisms? Can evolution create so-called complex biological systems such as the flagellum, vertebrate eye, or photosynthetic machinery without these built-in mechanisms? If yes, show the evidence.
I have been asking the above questions since 2023, and no one here has been able to come up with the evidence, so far.
