Genetic mutation through controlled conditions in a laboratory =/= "evolution" buddy.

Are you denying mutations occur randomly throughout time within nature?

Obviously not, since you've admitted that mutation is possible in a laboratory environment; extending this logic, I'm assuming you will submit that it is possible within a natural environment. If mutation leads to change and nature selects for this change over time, then how sir, are you denying evolution outright, as this, by definition, is evolution. If I can manipulate a genome to force a new trait; therefore, leading to a new species (your concern earlier), then what is stopping nature from selecting for this mutation that occurs randomly (1 in 1MB [1,000,000 base pairs]).

The answer: nothing. Maybe you now understand? Probably not.

God dam.n, you guys are really getting into this. We now know Opti is at least doing some work in college .

Bio seems interesting, maybe I should take that. .-.

Well then technically it does exist. But it doesn't exist in the most well-known version.

Nope nope nope.

Don't you judge me

LOLTRU.
Prick is my fave :3.

Thank GOD for Optimism.

Given your lack-luster response, I'm willing to bet something sparked inside that mind of yours. Now, this is very important: don't run from this light, pursue it. Don't choose to remain ignorant because of fear -- consume it. I was once a republican Christian. Never again -- I didn't run. There is happiness outside the binding walls of religion, king. I would argue a greater happiness, a freedom of sorts (even with this freedom, morality still pervades itself).

wait
is opti's name tyler

[Optimism]

wait
is opti's name tyler

Yes, sir!

[Iridion]

i tought ur name was something like josh or jeff
*sadface*

[Jeffalo13]

Yes, sir!

Omfg!  We were talking about evolution in my biology class and I was like "WHERE BE MY MAN TYLER". 

:p.

I... have to make a (de)motivational poster out of this.
