Isn't any apparently strong mutated deviation from the original species bad for natural selection?

  • It's sad when you argue that the Earth is only 10,000 years old, yet there's dinosaur bones that have just proven you wrong.

  • I proved that the earth is less than 10,000 years old. Were you in my thread to see it?

    What was I talking about in my thread regarding the age of the earth?

  • Some biblical junk that's easily defeated by carbon dating.

    I didn't use the Bible in my source. I used atheists.[spoiler]You weren't there. You can ask Britton. He knows what I'm talking about.[/spoiler]

    You didn't prove it. If you think you did, publish your paper and accept your scientific accolades.

    Depends on environmental factors. Say a child is born in a population of mice with medium brown colored fur. This new mouse has a mutation that causes it to have different color fur. Let's say it has very dark fur. If it lives in a field of wheat or other light grasses, it will stick out like a sore thumb, and a hawk or snake will likely get it. However, if it lives in an area with dark rocks, it can blend in better than most other members of the population. Therefore, it has a better chance to survive and reproduce. Now, let's say that instead of getting darker, the mouse's fur grew lighter. It's not going to do so well if it has to hide against dark rocks, but in fields of wheat or other such colored grasses, it will blend in fairly well. So you see, whether a significant mutation is harmful or helpful depends both on what the mutation is, as well as how it is affected by environmental factors.

  • Then the variant of that species will most likely die off. It also depends on the environment.

    [quote]Then the variant of that species will most likely die off.[/quote]Seems to happen a lot.[quote]It also depends on the environment.[/quote]...which has to remain constant in order to induce any physical changes to become hereditary. Fixed, added, and bumped.
