Re: Sounds quite interesting
I would tend to think Mulder is just repeating some rumour he heard. I did a fairly extensive search for info on this and the Sen article is all that I could find. As The Sun is not the most reputable source, I would think we should chock this up to urban myth. If anyone can provide other sources I am more than willing to change my opinion.

Re: Implication Of Intelligent Design
Why? Because with each new generation of the organism, the new generation (as per dice throw/evolution analogy) would need the ability to randomly save the previous evolutionary advancement/s of the organism.
That is a rough idea of how evolution works. Very rough.
The offspring of the creature with the mutation would not revert back to the grandsire non-mutation.
That would be plain silly.

Re: Implication Of Intelligent Design
NO. Not at all.
The analogy works quite well as an analogy. I was pointing out that your logic is quite faulty. Or it may just be your refusal to try to understand what the Theory of Evolution actually means.

Re: Implication Of Intelligent Design
The results of the throwing of the dice are RANDOM. That is the analogy. The analogy is not the dice, it is the results. It could be anything, but dice are things people can imagine. Thus it is an ANALOGY.
