Different alleles for different genes in different individuals among other things.
What makes alleles different from each other?

Re: Tracking the route of macroevolution
Far as I can tell nothing in that lengthy discussion says why it has to be a mutation rather than a built in variant.

Re: Tracking the route of macroevolution
As I have already shown, we have the evidence that evolution was responsible for the differences between the chimp and human genomes. It isn't an assumption. The fingerprint of random mutations is all over those genomes.
Every time you say it is an assumption it is a lie. We have the evidence.
I think you are misreading the evidence.

Re: Tracking the route of macroevolution
I already explained this. God doesn't make changes, He designed a genome for each creature and let it do its thing.

Until you can show how the evidence is being misread all you have is flat denial. We have the evidence, and you haven't been able to rebut it.

If the designed genomes have different sequences then those differences are changes. You are claiming that the sequence of a genome can't be any other sequence. If the sequence is different then it can only be deleterious or neutral, but never beneficial, according to your argument. Therefore, God could only design one genome and no others.

So why couldn't random mutations produce the differences between alleles?

Re: Tracking the route of macroevolution
I can't make one iota of sense out of what you are saying. Each genome is unique. It has nothing to do with mutations at all.

Yes, they are rare. Winning lottery numbers are also rare, yet people win the lottery all of the time using random numbers.
What you are trying to claim is that beneficial mutations are non-existent. If beneficial mutations are rare then random mutations will have no problem finding them. As I have already shown, the current human population has produced every non-lethal mutation at every position in the human genome 40 times over. I don't think you have an appreciation for the numbers involved.

Re: Tracking the route of macroevolution
In practice they are mostly neutral, right? But built in alleles, two to a gene, do two different things.

Re: Tracking the route of macroevolution
I guess they happen once in a very great while but the original created genome doesn't need them.

Every human is born with about 100 mutations which adds to the uniqueness of their genome. Every subsequent generation keeps adding mutations and keeps adding to the uniqueness of genomes. It has everything to do with mutations.
Do you deny the OBSERVATION that people are born with mutations?

Where is the evidence for this claim?
