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

No, not necessarily.

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?
-
You didn't even come close.

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

Edited by BenjyX55: 5/31/2015 2:38:39 PMDepends 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.

Because you have yet to respond to it.

Sorry, my phone doesn't notify me when I'm in the process of replying to somebody else.

No problem. Got anything to say?
-
Already said it.

Where?

It's six replies below this reply, quoting you.

Below.

There is a lot of stuff below. Please quote the exact passage.

Go six replies below. I'm looking at it. It still there.

If it were to benefit the species, then there is no problem with it.
-
And if it doesn't?
-
Then the variant of that species will most likely die off. It also depends on the environment.
