Why Natural Selection Mandates the Mutations be Chance Events

 -

EvoTARDs are so clueless. They don't even understand their own position. Back when Darwin first discussed the concept of natural selection he used it as a designer mimic- the appearance of design without the need of a designer. That still remains the foundation of modern evolutionary biology. As Mayr wrote:

The first step in selection, the production of genetic variation, is almost exclusively a chance phenomenon except that the nature of the changes at a given locus is strongly constrained. Chance plays an important role even at the second step, the process of elimination of the less fit individuals. Chance may be particularly important in the haphazard survival during periods of mass extinction.- Ernst Mayr "What Evolution Is"

As Dawkins wrote natural selection is blind. UC Berkeley says that NS is mindless. Mutations via telic processes are neither. But evoTARDs like Alan and Allan are too stupid to grasp that simple fact.

Pathetic, really.
