Answers to Questions - Creation vs. Evolution

Don’t proven mutational changes help prove Evolution?

NO. Nobody denies mutation are real (we can create them through radiation) but they don’t lead to Evolution. First, there is little (IF ANY) evidence of POSITIVE mutations. Evolution claims that an entire, miraculous parade - billions of simultaneous, positive mutations - that developed far more advanced species. But mutations don’t produce positive (advanced) changes. Secondly, it’s demonstrated that mutations are never passed on to the very next generation, unless these mutations occur in the sex cells (germ cells). And frequently that mutation will die out in subsequent generations unless it occurs in a significant percentage of the population. When we purposely create mutations (thereby KNOWING it is, in fact, a mutation) they are never passed on. Some might claim certain tendencies (cancer, diabetes, etc.) are evidence of mutations passed on. The question then becomes: Are these mutations? Or are there other traits in the genetic code that make certain individuals more susceptible to certain things (most scientists would agree). And keep in mind that such predisposition or genetic traits are NOT positive - whether mutations or not.
