Re: An obvious mistake.
We all know that there is a continous information flow from environment to organisms and even to the genome,plenty of epigenetic changes loaded to particular genome areas, and many REGULATION MECHANISMS,constantly fuctioning.
However, none of these mechanisms guide mutations. Pointing to epigenetics and DNA regulation does not evidence guided mutations.

Why Your DNA Isn't Your Destiny
By John Cloud Wednesday, Jan. 06, 2010

For deep evolutional changes in multi-cellular organisms, mutations on DNA to be beneficial, need to be prepared by epigenetic phenotype changes, which facilitate these types of mutation. In one cell and other of low organization evolution is endogenously forced by life momentum.
The stress of fear, lack of food, lack of mating opportunities etc., are the main causes of soft or deep changes. As these stresses are empathetically transmitted not only to life peers, but to extant population in wild areas, and to proximal generations , the resultant beneficial mutations are fairly quickly established, reducing the time needed by natural selection to do its work. This long time effect is the main cause of speciation as it expresses deep survival needs.
Beneficial mutations produce many variants, so selection process remains important.
Differences between mono- and multi cellular organisms, in relation to frequency or ratio of random vs guided mutations.
The guiding mechanisms found by Zhang and Saier in one cell organisms are evidence of more complicated such mechanisms in superior life types, where I think are much more common, given the complexity of that life.
Randomness is used regularly by nature as an effective and maybe cheap mechanism for its scopes, so it can’t be thought anymore as a random process.
More recently, however, researchers have begun to realize that epigenetics could also help explain certain scientific mysteries that traditional genetics never could: for instance, why one member of a pair of identical twins can develop bipolar disorder or asthma even though the other is fine. Or why autism strikes boys four times as often as girls. Or why extreme changes in diet over a short period in Norrbotten could lead to extreme changes in longevity. In these cases, the genes may be the same, but their patterns of expression have clearly been tweaked.
(See the best pictures of 2009.)
Biologists offer this analogy as an explanation: if the genome is the hardware, then the epigenome is the software. "I can load Windows, if I want, on my Mac," says Joseph Ecker, a Salk Institute biologist and leading epigenetic scientist. "You're going to have the same chip in there, the same genome, but different software. And the outcome is a different cell type."

Re: An obvious mistake.
It doesn't matter if you think it is stupid or not. Random mutations is what the evidence indicates, and you have not presented any evidence that would lead us to consider guided mutations.
If the waste and the stupidity of the idea is proved over any doupt don't you think your pet Darwinian theory is in danger?

I am not trying to show how epigenetics pave the way to mutations.Other well equipped scientists will be be able to do this. At present i am satisfied just to show the absurdities of the "classic" theory.

You may think it is stupid for the Earth to move about the Sun, but the reality is that it does. You are commiting the Fallacy of Incredulity:
Argument from incredulity - RationalWiki
We observe that mutations are random with respect to fitness. You have not offered a single observation that demonstrates that mutations are guided.
Here are some links
Where in those links can we find a mechanism that guides mutations?

You need to show how epigenetics guides mutations so that they are only beneficial and do not produce neutral or detrimental mutations. Where have you done that?
At present i am satisfied just to show the absurdities of the "classic" theory.
All you are doing is making an argument from incredulity which is a logical fallacy.

I many times had said that my theory allows the existance of neutral or deleterious mutations together with beneficial.Nor you ,nor as ST. DAWKINS did, can state a single case of random
mutation leading to new species.so you are not to any advantagious place in relation to my theory. But in addition,you are in the difficult position of explainig that inpropable and totally unuderstandable waste, on the limit of the ubsurddity,of the epigenetic work that was taken place in each organism over thousands of years.

Re: An obvious mistake.
Well, you have made some progress. Thanks for linking to additional info. But unfortunately, all you linked to was an opinion article. There's no real meat there for me to digest. And, it has nothing to do with guided mutation. You said you're content with discrediting the current paradigm, but, unfortunatetly, your opinoin piece does't really go against the current theory. I realize you don't give a shit about having any kind of scientific support for you idea, so I'm not going to waste any more of my time arguing with you about it at this time. Maybe in the future I'll tell you again how you have no leg to stand on and that you're full of shit. Good day sir.

Compare the human and chimp genome. The differences between those genomes are the result of random mutations.
But in addition,you are in the difficult position of explainig that inpropable and totally unuderstandable waste, on the limit of the ubsurddity,of the epigenetic work that was taken place in each organism over thousands of years.
That is an argument from incredulity. I don't need to explain your difficulty in accepting reality.

Guidance is loose, just to restrict the needed number of random mutations.

They equally well could due to the procedure of loose guidance.

Reality is the big issue. How can we know it?

Re: The ubsurdity of "classic" elolution Theory.
What you appear to be saying is that you don't understand 'x' and maybe 'y' is explainition.
Just because you don't understand 'x' does not mandate that 'y' is true. It could be true but one can only judge based on the evidence.
Do you see, now?
Edited by Larni, : No reason given.

The above ontological example models the zero premise to BB theory. It does so by applying the relative uniformity assumption that the alleged zero event eventually ontologically progressed from the compressed alleged sub-microscopic chaos to bloom/expand into all of the present observable order, more than it models the Biblical record evidence for the existence of Jehovah, the maximal Biblical god designer.

This analogy does not fit to reality so it is unfortunate. We don't have more tickets, but less numbers to choose from. There some difference.
Based on what evidence?
About metazoans, on the same amount of evidence you have for randomness, and with no any scientific obligation to to give any account of why such a usefull work done by epigenetics for many many years in a species has to be ignored by true science and and has to become useless and go astray .

What is that evidence?
and with no any scientific obligation to to give any account of why such a usefull work done by epigenetics for many many years in a species has to be ignored by true science and and has to become useless and go astray .
The account is that mutations are random, so detrimental mutations do occur. I have been giving you the account from the very start of this thread.
