More non-random evolution

The word random doesn't even appear in the article. The sentence you quoted only notes that, as was already well known, some parts of the genome are more susceptible to mutation than others, and the increased levels of radiation have a greater impact on these "hotspots". Where the mutation takes place is random, but the probability of where the mutation might occur is not equal everywhere.

​

An analogy would be buildings in an earthquake. Which buildings fall is random, but weaker buildings are more likely. Correspondingly, some portions of the genome are more resistant to change than others.

As is usually the case, buildings are designed by an intelligent designer, including being specifically designed to withstand earthquakes. Great analogy to show that Intelligence is required, NOT random mutation or natural selection.Regards,

Uh, Sonnikke, the anology was about knocking down the buildings, not designing and constructing them. It took you since October to think this up?

LOL..I haven't had much time to post anything but I saw your analogy at the beginning of the thread, and regardless of whether it was about knocking buildings down, it STILL also indicates that there would be no buildings without a designer.S------------------
