Intended mutations

To Everyone,Please avoid both general and specific denigrations of the other side.Please stay on topic. The opening post questions whether it is really possible that the mutatations required for adaptation to environmental changes could arise by chance, almost as if nature had foresight and intent, and suggests that a designer is required. Please focus on the thread's topic.Just to be clear, this thread is not about the evolution of charity or morals, not about the evolution of new genera, not about abiogenesis, and not about the impossibility of evolution because of analogies to tornados in junkyards. These are all valid topics, but please discuss them in the appropriate threads, or if none are currently active, propose a new thread.Thank you!

Hi all,To help keep this thread on topic when it resumes, here is a list of topics that are *not* the topic of this thread. These have all been mentioned in this thread at one time or another:

• Entropy and thermodynamics
• Probability
• Abiogenesis
• Transitional species
• The evolution of charity and morals

This thread is about the need for mutations to have intent and direction, and the accompanying implication of a designer.This message has been edited by Admin, Sun, 05-07-2006 04:21 PM
