Do you mean like when I asked what a mutation for a tear duct looks like, and he said a mutation to a sebaceous gland, and I asked what change and to which sebaceous gland-just one in the corner of the eye, and he said um, um..nothing?
Ok, in all fairness, show me the evidence of God creating the suebaceous gland in the human body from nothing. Show me the emperical evidence of him doing this.
Chirp, chirp, chirp.
That is right, you can't. This is called an argument from ignorance. Just because we can't show every single mutation that has occurred in the human genome does not mean they do not exist. Science rests on the preponderance of emperical evidence that back up theories. In other words, there is enough evidence showing the mutational changes in the genome to indicate that biological evolution does occur even if we can not provide evidence of each and every genetic mutation (which would be literally uncountable).
Furthermore your statement that indicates that you think singular or even small numbers of mutations can create suebaceous glands indicate you know nothing about molecular and cellular biology, anatomy or biological evolution. Go read some academic books on these subjects and than come back if you have questions or want to challange the entire scientific community (which numbers in the tens of millions of academics and researchers who accept biological evolution as indicative of reality).
