Admin, my question doesn`t really have any pro`s or con`s. I would just like to know what, if any, questions remains unanswered in regards to proving that evolution occurs. Hope this helps. Cheers.

Admin, I would like to please change the title up for consideration to: Do both advantageous and neutral mutations fuel evolution? My position is that advantageous mutations alone could not fuel evolution.

I was under the impression that a lot of evolutionists believe that only advantageous mutations fuel evolution?

But how then, if a mutation is beneficial in one environment, but deleterious in another, do we define exactly what an advantageous mutation is?

Re: it's relative
Is there then, no real such thing as a netral mutation?
