31. Mutations are bad--isn't that what they always say?
Edited on Fri Nov-11-05 11:17 AM by kenny blankenship
So clearly it comes from the Devil.
So called Adaptation is just a rationalizing strategy adopted by the hellbound, God-denying atheist know-nothing scientists to account for mutation. Mutation is accurately explained in Intelligent Design theory: in Genesis, you see, the Devil introduces imperfection by tempting Adam and Eve, not in that order mind you, and he's been corrupting this and that detail of God's plan ever since. This is an intellectual embarrassment for atheists, so they assign the term mutation to the changes in creatures, and say that adaptation is the cumulative effect of mutation and the natural selection of successful mutations. But there's where they trip up on themselves because they also assign a negative value to mutation, claiming that it's the cause of cancer. In Intelligent Design mutation is always bad, but in so-called Darwinian evolutionary theory and biology, mutation is good some times, bad others.
Well, they can't have it both ways! Mutation-adaptation is self-contradictory theory critical to the monstrous edifice of so-called "Evolution", and since it contradicts itself at its center, the whole house of cards must fall. Intelligent Design accounts for mutation in a perfectly self-consistent, non-contradictory way. Ergo, Intelligent Design is the only theory left standing. God wins. Nietzsche is dead. And Darwin rots in Hellfire!
