Can you define a beneficial mutation?
What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: First
Did I say anything like that? Why would you ask that unless you were trolling?

Hubris
Imagine the hubris it takes to think you have overturned all the science of the last 150 years in a field you have no education or training in. Stunning.

Keeps going and.going
Kind of funny when cranks and trolls think they a smarter than everyone else. You gave him the rope, he hung himself but he is still going. When I am shown I have no idea what I am talking about I shut up and slink away. Not this guy.

If I flip a coin 9 times and it comes up heads every time. What are the chances it will come up heads again?

Re: Kleinman does not think mutations can be passed down to descendants
Sin ≠ Evil. Sin is a religious construct with little relation to reality. Yes murder is considered a sin, but so are things like blasphemy, masturbation and homosexuality. None of those are evil. So please try to define sin again.

Re: Kleinman does not think mutations can be passed down to descendants
I get to define what is evil for me. Do you think you and your religion get to define what is evil for others. I can blaspheme and masturbate and go to gay marriages all I want. No evil at all.

Re: Kleinman does not think mutations can be passed down to descendants
Ahh, one of the strawman arguments you are so fond of. I have never attempted, wanted or argued that I should impose my moral views on others. Unlike you and other religious people. I could ask a similar question Are you on parole before your trial on bestiality?
