Re: Luck & Chance
There is no such thing as a beneficial mutation that luckily just mutated in time to magically improve a species ? Do answer
http://www.gate.net/~rwms/EvoMutations.html
quote:
Examples of Beneficial Mutations and Natural Selection (Summary)
1.) Adaptation to High and Low Temperatures by E. coli.
2.) Adaptation to Growth in the Dark by Chlamydomonas.
3.) Selection for Large Size in Chlamydomomas
4.) Adaptation to a Low Phosphate Chemostat Environment by a Clonal Line of Yeast
5.) Evidence of genetic divergence and beneficial mutations in bacteria after 10,000 generations
6.) Adaptation of yeast to a glucose limited environment via gene duplications and natural selection
7.) Molecular evidence for an ancient duplication of the entire yeast genome
8.) Evolution of a new enzymatic function by recombination within a gene.
9.) Changes in the substrate specificities of an enzyme during directed evolution of new functions.
10.) 12% (3 out of 26) random mutations in a strain of bacteria improved fitness in a particular environment.
By the way, getting an answer to your question required a two second internet search and a quick view of the results.
I think this calls for another facepalm:

Re: Luck & Chance
Yes, agreed, me and evolutionists seem to all agree evolution is by pure luck and chance.
Nope. Your definition is more aligned with how a slot machine works.
And Yes, the creationist quote, rings true and honest and scientific, Lets repeat it for the advancement of true science..""This theory (evolution) has helped nothing in the progress of science. It is useless".
quote:
How evolutionary principles improve the understanding of human health and disease
An appreciation of the fundamental principles of evolutionary biology provides new insights into major diseases and enables an integrated understanding of human biology and medicine.
How evolutionary principles improve the understanding of human health and disease - PMC
IE evolution or luck and chance has not helped the advancement of science one iota, I mean how can unintelligent luck and chance prove beneficial to anything, let alone true science.
See previous link.
Creationism and intelligence wins again.
Nope. Creationism and the nonsensical peddling of it just got owned once more by facts and logic. This calls for another facepalm:

No, the idea for lighter-than-air flight did not come from birds. There are no birds filled with hydrogen. (I was really hoping somebody would give an example of lighter-than-air flight in nature. )
I think this owl might have the answer:
