[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] No, they aren't. I posted a bit of information about the belief that most mutations are harmful and/or fatal a while back in the old thread. You will be able to find it again at [URL=http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/mutations.html]www.talkorigins.org/faqs/mutations.html[/URL] there are many ways in which mutations might occur, and virtually none of them involve changes to entire chromosomes. (this is why you have FAR more species than there are #'s of chromosomes possible in a cell.) Yes, the paper is still paper, much as the DNA in our bodies is still DNA. HOWEVER, the SHAPE of it has changed radically, far moreso than the small percentage which our DNA differs from, say, pan troglodytes (a chimp). "The average human being has about 50-100 mutations (differing them from EITHER of their parents,) of which about 3 may actually matter (they actually change a protein.) If the typical mutation were deleterious, life would go extinct in short order." - parenthetical expressions mine. [/QB][/QUOTE]
