I'm trying to think through Faith's built in genes vs. mutations.
Actually it is rather easy. You see all this genetic material is just lying around in the genome (and a lot of it is stored in junk files), and there are three ways these built-in genes become activated:
- an inactive gene section is moved into an active section of the genome and goes to work, or
- a previously active gene has the blocking mechanism that prevented it from being active removed.
- an activator section is moved to where an inactive built-in gene resides, turning it on.
Don't you
dare call these "mutations" though (that is an evilutionist assumption), because these are brought about by simple recombination of the existing genes in small populations, when they were suppressed in larger populations.
Enjoy
