I agree with the rest. But what would you say if add: ... mutations that are guided by environment? How can you exclude this scenario? Just by saying that 'all scientists believe so'? You must have evidence for it to say so.
If you said that I would laugh, laugh loudly and heartily. And I presented the evidence and and you even quoted part of my evidence. But did you actually read it?
If the environment was actually causing as opposed to filtering changes then the same changes should show up in all of a population living in the same environment; however evidence refutes that position.
Environment is never the same for different members.
Nonsense, utter nonsense.
Let me repeat the example for you.
quote:
There is a population of mice.
The mice have baby mice.
Not all the copies are perfect, some have mutations.
Some baby mice are tan.
Some baby mice are dark gray.
Some baby mice are bright pink with yellow and green stripes.
The baby mice that are tan go out to eat and play. Those that stay on the tan rocks find lots of food and have fun playing. They grow up and marry the mouse next door and have lots of pretty tan baby mice.
Those that play on the dark gray rock though get eaten by predators and don't get to play or have fun or grow up to marry the mouse next door and have lots of pretty tan baby mice.
The baby mice that are dark gray go out to eat and play. Those that stay on the dark gray rocks find lots of food and have fun playing. They grow up and marry the mouse next door and have lots of pretty dark gray baby mice.

The baby mice that are bright pink with yellow and green stripes go out to eat and play. They get eaten.
Soon there are two populations of mice, tan mice and dark gray mice and bad little mice are told, "If you do that again you will turn pink with yellow and green stripes and get eaten! And it will make you go blind too!".
The environment did absolutely nothing to cause the mutations.
Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!
