You'll need another, different one in a while because viruses evolve.

No. That would completely turn evolutionary theory on its head. Your winking face is worrying because you clearly don't even understand what evolutionary theory predicts. And that amuses you? Does it mean you think you are in a position to tease?

What is the difference between a change in trait (driven by a mutation) and an evolutionary change?

The answer looks like: “Mutations, yes. Evolution, no.” Give a life to your ignorance, Zombrex, mutations don't help your goddamn evolutionary changes..
WHAT!? Mutations are the fundamentally idea behind evolution! How could they not? A mutation occurs which gives that organism an advantage in living. Because of this it lives longer and gets to pass on its genes. This mutation has now been passed one. A change has occurred.

I have no idea what that means so I'll just kindly ask you not to clog any of our doctors surgeries any time you get ill from a virus.

Only enough to say that something exists, otherwise religion wouldn't need revelation and science wouldn't need evidence.

Nope. You are saying that because humans can design things using their intelligence, the world has been designed with intelligence. I don't see that the conclusion follows the premise.

A changed trait is by definition a new change. That will by definition produce a new trait. That is what the word "changed" means. Your grasp of English seems as good as your grasp of evolutionary biology.

Hey doc, can you cure me, Can you tell me what does evolutionary theory predict. What is prediction about Human Race. What is future of human race. When will this human race change into another race. Will it remain human or turn to apes again. Doc, can you beat mind such as mine.

change in traits (driven by a mutation) not by use -- See the below image for example, the image isn't real but it only clearly concept


but that's fantasy of evolution, in reality,, mutations create no of genetic defects like hamophilia etc, and you know what does evolutionary change suppose to mean.... How could this be possible, doc

Mutation are very rare and mutation are 1000 times more harmful than they are useful, right. Mutation creates no of genetic defects. All this is fantasy which is being shown in media "New traits" ... Some atomic event creates people with gnarled skin---There are 3 major issues that arrest scientific computation from mutational change to evolutionary change.
1. First problem is related to math, as evolutionist will agree with me that mutation are very rare and we are talking about mutations which could change a frog into poet .
2. second problem is mutation often go into the wrong direction. They create certain abnormalities in population.
3. mutations are sometime produce by radiation / replication errors.

See, it's cycle, design needs human and human needs something to compete the cycle. The same being who is infinite, can't be created

Hey corkfeen, do you fully understand how evolution works. No one knows how it works The reason is simple because your age isn't enough to see this faith. It is complicated religion and you're it's follower. No one is here who fully understand how does it work.Theory depends on faith. Some of Evolution interpretations are dogmatic. They need a creed of "infinite chance" to explain it. If i lack something then there is lack in your understanding. Because I don't know from whose mind,faith and mouth you've learnt evolution. It's called wisdom

It's a clue, you can create thousand of ideas. Could you please explain in simple English what are you trying to say.

I think, judging by the picture you posted, that you consider mutations to be severe abnormalities. This is not the case. Of course mutations can go the wrong way but if they did that would lessen that organisms chance of survival and lessen its chance of passing the mutated gene on. We talk about the good mutations because these are the ones that are advantageous to the organism and are the ones that survive.

Evolutionary theory predicts nothing about the future of any species (unless we have particularly good insight into their environmental pressures). Evolution is blind, species can "meander" for great lengths of time, there is no "end-point".

If we know of a specific environmental pressure, we can reasonably make short-term predictions about evolution. Bacteria will evolve to take advantage of a novel nutritional substrate, crabs that live in the dark may lose their eyes. We have observed such predictions in nature and in the lab.

I don't know, there's no plan. I suspect we're going to wipe ourselves out pretty soon. But if we continue to occupy this planet in a reasonably stable environment for the indefinite future, I might predict that we will see an increase in beneficial genetic changes that "protect" against the major biological hazards such as cancer. 8m years ago, there were no chimps and humans, only a single ape ancestor. We're not that different to chimps in modern times, so we'll be waiting a long time for humans to sprout wings.

Mutations are not rare in the slightest. You were conceived with many may changes in your DNA, compared to either parent. And even now, every time your cells divide, you will have generated new mutations in your DNA.

Mutations are mostly neutral - they cause neither harm nor benefit.

So, we are left only to observe the obvious mutations, those causing distinct benefit and those causing distinct harm. Most may be harmful, but some are not. Some are distinctly beneficial to the host organism. This is the material that evolution works with.

Ever spoken to a frog? How do you know they aren't poets?

And anyway, we aren't talking about mutations that would turn a frog into a poet. Evolution is a tree, not a line. We didn't come from chimps, we came from a common ancestor that split into two populations, one giving rise to modern humans, one giving rise to modern chimps. The frogs we see today are far down their evolutionary line - there's nothing that could possibly turn a frog into Shakespeare.

Sometimes? As far as I know, and if we count "radiation" to include "general environmental damage", these are the only two processes by which mutations are produced.

This is simply not true. We know exactly how evolution works. There are refinements made when new genetic phenomena are discovered but these don't change the basic premise - small changes in DNA accumulate over time to change phenotype (the physical makeup of an organism).

There is no "faith" to be had in evolution, in the same way that gravity does not require "faith".

Right, you have a LOT of people on this thread who understand evolutionary theory. Many of them will be scientists, may of them will have top qualifications their field. And all of them will say: evolution does not proceed by chance, it proceeds by the directed non-random process of natural selection. How many times do you need to be told?
