The mathematical challenges of this theory almost make it difficult to believe. The average number of mutations in an organism is 1 in 10 billion (107). To get 2 related mutations is 1 in 100 trillion (1014). To get 3 related mutations is 1 in 1 billion-trillion (1021). To get just 4 related mutations is 1 in 1028. And just 4 mutations aren't enough to make any real, progressive structural changes. Not to mention you'd have to multiply the chances by 2 so that there would be 2 organisms with the same mutations. I'm not even going into detail on the chances of survival and the odds of the two mutated organisms meeting and having off-spring that would survive to carry on those traits and mate. Although it is possible, it's not probable.

You do know mutations happen all the time? Right?
How did I miss that.

I fail to see how this is logical at all. Mutations happen a lot, and animals forget a lot. I don't understand the improbableness of Evolution occurring.

Thanks for sharing, we don't care.

But, not to the point when you get a human.
