I'm talking about a relative increase in complexity for that particular type of organism, not greater complexity as compared to another. I understand...
I don't think I'm asking for something so difficult. Scientists observe (and cause) augmenting mutations in people and other organisms every day. But...
You are wrong about my having been influenced by creationists. I'm just the regular type of ignorant. I'm perfectly aware that beneficial...
That is what I'm looking for, but do you know where I can find published studies?
I think you guys are looking for the Bicker Forum.
Not sure I understand... Personally, I'm looking for a documented case of an organism with any level of complexity surviving a mutation that causes...
I agree that his response was off topic. But it is not clear to me yet that a virus could progress that way via mutation. I have seen countless...
Great article, Repo Man! That's helpful for jokers like me who dropped out of college before getting to this kind of stuff. So it does look like...
Thanks for the reply, James R. I'm curious, though, is the evolution of viruses simple natural selection or are they developing and passing on new...
Thanks for your replies, iceaura and lasion! Those are some interesting studies, however, the bacterial studies seem to be cases of natural...
Okay... so you don't know of any?
Sure. I would also accept any mutation that doesn't cause sterility, retardation, or death. :)
Hey, go easy on young Chuck Norris. He may grow up to kick your ass.
Kind of on subject: Why is there such an enormous developmental gap between humans and their closest relatives? Not being well studied in this...
Hey, Fraggle Rocker. You seem to know a lot about this. Do you know of any studies (in the wild or in the lab) where scientists have observed a...
Could you explain how we've been able to observe the development of blood clotting (or any new / more complex trait)? Any scientific observation of...
Hmmm... that seems to be targeted at refuting creationism (which I am not proposing). I haven't been able to find a short sweet answer to my question...
That's cool. Do you know of any specific cases or studies? I've read several studies (in Nature; with plants and insects) where scientists were able...
Yeah, that's true. However, those fruit are seedless, so I'm still left wondering how new genetic material could be passed down? This seems to hold...
An interesting tangent: A mule in Morocco was able to successfully reproduce despite its odd number of chromosomes....
