Creation vs Evolution

I know Crossroad personally, and he told me that's what he was talking about.

Whoops! My bad!!

If Natural Selection is Evolution, and it's the Natural Selection I believe, then I guess Evolution is believable. Of course, the dating of the Earth also gets in the way of the whole thing. Also, the amount of change within the animals messes up that too. Natural Selection doesn't say there's going to be a huge change, but Evolution does.

As you say, natural selection is small changes in a direction based on the environment.

And a small change in one direction over a long timeframe leads to a large change.

Some small mutations can have a massive effect on an organism. For example, if a STOP codon is removed, the DNA is read past a certain point, which can lead to many new protiens being created. Depending on what they are the result can be startling e.g. Albinos.

Or nothing may be seen on looking. Lots of mutations to the "junk" DNA can do nothing (although the term "junk" is being debated as it might be that we just don't know the function yet). Or there may be 5 copies of a gene and the chance stops one from working, so the other 4 just plough on.

Anyway, it's bloody late, and I'm going to have to turn in. c ya later
