from there to new organisms is a mathematically impossible quantum leap, not to mention a violation of Genesis chapter 1.

: Never having learned something is not, in and of itself, cause for embarassment, but I'm not sure how much bragging about the fact really helps your cause. In any case, visit talkorigins.org, look through the archives. The information you're looking for is readily available there.Okay, I'm neither embarrased nor bragging about not being aware of beneficial mutations. I'm saying that in my undergraduate and post-graduate work plus 20 years of teaching science, I've not yet seen any evidence of a beneficial mutation. I've not yet been able to peruse the web sight you mentioned, so the possibility that I'm wrong does exist. Are we discussing whether evolution can result in a change within an organism or whether evolution can result in new organisms. In fact, evolution cannot explain the origin of life and of new organisms. In a limited sense, it may explain how some fruit flies can develop dysfunctional wings or deformed eyes, but from there to new organisms is a mathematically impossible quantum leap, not to mention a violation of Genesis chapter 1.
