[quote][quote]There's only one way the watch can fit together properly. There are hundreds of thousands of trillions of ways to make a functioning organism.[/quote]Name ten.[/quote] You. Me. The moron who made the false analogy. DeeJ. Your mother. My mother. Obama. Hitler. Einstein. Bill Gates. Ten functioning organisms, each of which are unique. [quote][quote]Evolution is gradual. The functional organism, or the working watch, doesn't just happen. It takes several steps, several iterations.[/quote]So does a watch.[/quote] Exactly. It's not as simple of assembling the parts and letting them randomly assemble themselves. [quote][quote]...mutations that benefit existing conditions. It's far from random.[/quote]Are you implying that mutations are inherently good?[/quote] Most mutations have no discernible effect, or an inconsequential effect. The mutations that are good or bad are the ones that influence evolution. The mutations that are good are the ones that are more likely to survive within a population.
