Man made evolution

Do creationists accept that the mechanism of evolution by natural selection can at least be successfully applied to man-made systems?
Creationists deny the fact that random mutations in the genes that form the recipe for an organism can be responsible for steering the organism towards a more or less successful outcome in the competion for existance. Do they also deny that a direct application of this principle in man-made systems could yield equally successful engineering solutions?The topic might also explore the interesting similarities between the higher degrees of diversity found in the design of early man-made artifacts and the earliest known species.This message has been edited by Electron, 13 February 2005 13:56 AM

To get a thread off to a good start you need to have more meat in your opening post (OP).Please describe your position. Specify the "mechanism for evolution" (remember many will have no clue) and why you think it applies (assuming you do).Try to suggest what is on and off topic so we can guide the thread as well.
Just add that by editing the OP and then it can be promoted.Thanks.

Let me see if I understand you correctly - you would like me to augment my OP by specifying the mechanism for "evolution by natural selection" within my opening post? After studying these boards I was assuming everyone to be moderately familiar with the concept. I would happliy expand on your other points.
