. However, as you would expect, I remain skeptical because if we are talking about one or two simple mutations, then I would have to agree with you. But when there are multiple coherent mutations that are required to produce new structures or to take large steps, I remain unconvinced. I must say that I don't know enough about the cell and genetics to really refute what you are saying.
Traderdrew, can you provide an example of this large step that has to be taken all at once? Personal incredulity does not provide much to argue about. While evolution can occur in somewhat large steps(frameshift mutations that can alter multiple amino acids) its almost always in small steps over many many generations. Can you provide me some instances of a super difficult mutation along with the mathematical probability that this would occur?
