I'm up for anything we have a need to explain.
If we ever find any evidence for a god... I'll bow down and kiss his ***.
Untill that time.... he can kiss mine.
Semantics.
From a statistical point of view, one human with "armhead syndrome" out of six billion would be regarded as an extreme outlier and omitted from the data set altogether.
Regarding changing frequencies within the gene pool, the "armhead gene" is not even in the genepool. It must be...
Because science has no interest in such things. Why would anyone fund any research into this? What practical application could ever come from this? It is completely useless.
As a biologist, I'm even more insulted!!!
So only my field of science is bogus? All the rest are reasonable and rational and self critical and infinitely useful, but biology is bullsh1t?
You sir, don't deserve medicine.
If that's a question, it needs a "?" at the end.
If that's a statement, your "Is it" should be an "It is".
Anyway, what has popularity got to do with a personal belief or lack thereof?
No.
Genetic mutation is a random chance.
Whether or not that mutation is passed on to the next generation is decided by natural selection.
This is a selective process.... the exact opposite of chance!
Hope that helps.
When i did my degree, I never once heard the term micro/macro evolution. It was only when i started reading the "absurd" comments on youtube science videos that i came across these terms.
macro evolution = micro evolution + time
