By denying the possibility of beneficial mutations, you don't reject only evolution - you reject also mathematics.



Well this is the problem I've mentioned before.. to deny evolution is to basically also reject a great deal of other science as well. Not that this is proof that evolution is true on its own, but it sure as hell opens a hornets nest that no one is prepared to deal with, certainly not creationists, most of whom dont know even basic science methods.

For instance, obviously you must throw out genetics, and with it probably molecular biology. This is because DNA/genetic research clearly shows a relationship between the various species of lifeforms on Earth. So if we deny that they ARE in fact related, we must then reject all the genetic data and analysis. This is a tall order.

To me the clearest "proof" of evolutionary relationships is the global genetic similarity among all creatures on Earth. Instead of getting stuck up on whether there are "beneficial" mutations, or whether the peppered moths were really mutants or whatnot, we should concentrate on these larger questions.

Because frankly, peppered moths are not very interesting
