Creation AND Evolution?

Like viral resistance to antibiotics maybe?

The fact that you think it’s true. Suppressing dissent doesn’t mean it isn’t there, any more than suggesting bad mutations are eliminated in favor of the good ones. So the good and bad would have to go forward in each life form, moreover due to the complexity of life even the good ones reacting with each new generation would not be able to accumulate in such a fashion to evolve into more complex life with all the bells and whistles life has.

Kazet is claimaing that complex organisms can occasionally undergo beneficial mutations. This does not prove that the same applies to simple organisms. (never mind that those simple organisms can change into complex ones) Since he believes that complex life as we know it evolved from material even simpler than single celled organisms he should surely have loads of evidence to back up his claim. Surely he isn't imagining this is he?

Anyone surprised that KJ is unable to post a detailed explanation of the basic mechanics of natural selection? He can claim that he understands it all he wants, but it is quite telling that when it comes to demonstrating that he actually understands it, he is unable.

Of course he'll create a rationalization or two for not doing so.

There is indeed a lot of evidence. Some of it is summarized on this page:

Very beneficial for the survival of life indeed. 🙄

Surely you can't believe an example of a mutation that benefits something that aims to destroy life is evidence that simple organisms can become more complex as a result of said mutations?

"Evolution is change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations." That does not mean it explains how simple organisms can evolve into new more complex species due to mutations.

I answered your question with a perfect example; you just don't like the answer and so are creating an emotional ad hominem against the virus which is a living creature. It's ability to build resistance to antibiotics is a result of natural selection.

It does explain that.

Maybe if you have a vivid imagination.

Quote the part from the text that you feel is the strongest evidence.

Do you really think 150 years of biology can be condensed into a single quote?
