Re: Evolution's primary mechanism
About the probability, you must have mutation in all cells. All must be a positive mutation. So, that is the probability of a successful mutation as stated in Scientific Creatinism.
Well the mutation happens in the DNA, which is what builds the cells. Think of it like a recipe. If I add chocolate to a cake, I have 1 cake with chocolate. If I add chocolate to the recipe for a cake, every cake will have chocolate. It's the same here.
The DNA creates the cells. Every cell in your body contains the same DNA, but not all of the DNA is used to create every cell.

Wow!
While I've been playing with Randman in our 1 on 1, you've really come out swinging. Welcome to the board Carico.
You raise a number of questions in this post, all of which are answered by a basic understanding of evolutionary theory.
If you'd like, I'll walk you through the mechanics of it all and answer all these questions.
But, if you're simply a strict literalist, please just say so and we'll all move on.
