So the wombat relative starts to dig and decides its upright pouch is not conducive for digging. Again, you still have the dilemma of a large scale mutation not caused through breeding. These supposed mutations, albeit rare, would have been witness in some form, in some species on this planet in the last 200 years.
Once again, natural selection and genetic drift are the primary drivers of evolution, not mutation. This has been explained several times.
There are countless millions of species of insects, mammals and fish and we've yet to witness the miracle of Darwinian theory.
Not at all, I just posted the results of lab work showing evolution in the lab studied, peer reviewed, and in action. At the microscopic level in simple organisms it is of course easier to observe. In macro-organisms evolution is a much longer process considering the longer lifespan. In the lab we have 30,000 generations, in your house you have maybe 9 cats in your life. You won't see your cat suddenly walk on hind legs one day, smoke a pipe, and read the New Yorker.
Since you continue to disregard all information presented that contradicts what you want to believe about evolution, I will share a story with you that isn't about evolution.
When you read the story of Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac in the bible, God saves the day at the last moment with a heroic "I just wanted to see if you would do it." Henceforth, Abraham invents the Nuremberg defense "i was under orders".
The funny thing is, the ancient settlers of that region most likely practiced human sacrifice (as did many ancient tribal cultures). There is still evidence of this practice in the Bible.
Exod 22:28-29 "You shall not delay your fulfillment and your flowing.
"You shall give me the firstborn of your sons.
"You shall do this to your ox and to your sheep: Seven days it will be with its mother. On the eighth day you shall give it to me."
Exod 34:19-20 Every first issue of the womb is Mine, from all your livestock that drop a male as firstling. . . . . . . And you must redeem every first-born among your sons.
Exod 13:1-2 YHWH said to Moses, "Consecrate to me all the first-born; whatever is the first to open the womb among the people of Israel, both of man and of beast, is mine." [From RSV--Ed.]
However, there was a clever redaction in the Isaac story. When you crack open your copy of the Torah in the original Hebrew (you do read the real thing and not an english knockoff, right?). Now to explain this to you, I have to explain parts of the document hypothesis to you.
First we have the J and E sources. The Jawhist and Elohist sources. They have unique writing styles and use different names for God. The first creation story in Geneis is from the J source and the second is from the E source. Hence why in the first story God creates man last and in the second story he created man before the animals. They are actually two different stories. J calls God YHWH, E calls him Elohim (although the characters in J stories may refer to God as Elohim).
RJE is the term we use for the guy who combined J and E material.
Now, the Isaac story is mostly E. Right up until God saves the day. Here is a colored version of the text. The E source in green, the RJE in blue.
And it was after these things and Elohim tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!"
And he said, "Here am I."
He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."
So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his ass, and took his two boys with him and Isaac, his son. And he cut the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place that Elohim had said to him. On the third day: and Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from a distance. And Abraham said to his boys, "Sit here with the ass; I and the boy will go over there, and we will bow, and we will come again to you." And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took in his hand the fire and the knife.
So they went both of them together.
And Isaac said to his father Abraham, "My father!"
And he said, "Here am I, my son."
He said, "Here are the fire and the wood, but where is the sheep for a burnt offering?"
Abraham said, "Elohim will provide himself the sheep for a burnt offering, my son."
So they went both of them together.
And they came to the place of which Elohim had told him, and Abraham built an altar there, and arranged the wood, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, upon the wood. And Abraham put forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
And an angel of YHWH called to him from the skies and said, "Abraham, Abraham!"
And he said, "Here am I."
And he said, "Do not lay your hand on the lad or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear Elohim, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me."
And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and here was a ram behind, caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son. And Abraham called the name of that place "YHWH Yir'eh," as is said to this day: "In YHWH's mountain it will be seen."
And an angel of YHWH called to Abraham a second time from the skies. And he said, "I swear by me--word of YHWH--that because you did this thing, and did not withhold your son, your only one, I will indeed bless you, and I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore. And your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies, and by your descendants shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves, because you have obeyed my voice."
And Abraham returned to his boys, and they got up and went together to Beer-sheba, and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
I substituted the names of God used to make the differences obvious to even the uneducated. The scholarly opinion is that by the time RJE was combining the J and E texts, that human sacrifice was no longer practiced and was frowned upon. Hence the redaction and later materials where the Hebrews following Baal are criticized for it.
Without the RJE material, Abraham kills his first born as Elohim commands and then is rewarded for his loyalty with more children. This is in line with the other Exodus sources which command this practice.
The easy-to-read version of the Torah with the different sources color coded is here:
Amazon.com: The Bible with Sources Revealed: Richard E. Friedman: Books
It starts with a 34 page explanation of the methodology used to determine the different sources and the evidence for them. If a local bookstore has a copy, stand and read those 34 pages even if you don't buy the book.
In any case, this is far more interesting than repeating misconceptions about mutation and outright denying the fact that evolution has been observed. Plus, I get PMs from people thanking me for these kinds of posts since some people have never heard this information before and honestly want to hear and read the fruits of knowledge.
), that they would contact me in private so I can apologise.
