Yes I can. I usually do not answer your replies. Let the reader decide
which is more logical. This one, however, just cries for a reply. Agreed
that natural selection, if it occurs at all, must take thousands of years.
However, you mentioned the Fruit Fly and that just begs an answer. It has
been experimented with since 1901 by scores of dedicated evolutionary
scientists and great effort and intelligence has been made to purposefully
mutate it in an effort to prove that alteration by natural selection could
occur. This has not - repeat - has not happened. Drosophila has been
mutated to a fair-thee-well but always tends to return to its original
shape. What I base my assertion on is that scientific fact does NOT support
macroevolution. Scientific theory supports your conclusions, but the facts
don't.
>>>What about bacterial resistance to antibiotics? That is beneficial<<<
Yes, to the bacteria, but that is STILL not an example of a new mutation.
The genetic information was provided all ready. This is merely an adoption
of a characteristic that all ready exists.
>>>> What about the mutation in that Italian family in the 1700s that makes
them

This one is new to me. Please elucidate. What type of Cholesterol is
being discussed. There are 'good' and 'bad' types.
