    Nope, most are silent (a.k.a., do not cause any kind of change). Some are deleterious, and a few are advantageous.

    I certainly agree that the creation museum looks entertaining and has a lot of religious significance. But I am confused about your comments about education and science. I don't remember hearing about the Hebrew flood myth in any science class. But I guess if some people think the flat earth is science, you can believe its possible for one family to take care of all the species on the planet on a single over-sized wooden boat they built themselves during a year-long global flood.

    The average person is born with 100 new mutations. If most mutations were harmful, we would all be deformed monstrosities by now.

    Great point. Did anybody see God make the world? Why don't we see God make things now?

    Wrong, science says that females came first. Simple single-celled organisms are all female. Females are the ones who can produce children. There are many organisms that can reproduce both sexually and asexually. That is probably how sexual reproduction started out, and over time some species became less and less asexual and relied more on males and females.

    Actually about 80% are harmful.

    What about there was a really big flood somewhere, but this flood wasn't global, kind of like the floods we have today? And maybe you can explain why we don't see any human fossils in the strata with the dinosaurs.

    LOL. Whatever, for the most part I don't argue with the true believers. I believe God created the earth and I'm not particularly interested in how He did it.

    Maybe he did it with evolution, abiogenesis, and the big bang.

    Maybe you can explain why there are many ancient depictions of dinosaurs? Did they dig fossil sites, the assemble them so they could know what they looked like, as we do today?

    The Stegosaur depiction is particularly interesting:

    According to the fairy tale, they all got on board in 7 days. Do you know how much food and water 2 elephants need for a year?

    People who believe in the water flood and ark of Noah are really too stupid to exist in the modern world. They should be sent back 3,000 years in time.

    The inventor of the MRI was a young earth creationist. What exactly are your accomplishments?

    And then finished it off with abiogenesis and evolution. Evolution actually has a lot more evidence than the big bang does.

    How would they have known what the entire animal looked like by finding a fossil or two?

    The Noah ark story is a First Commandment story (Exodus 34:11-16). It teaches complete loyalty and obedience to the God character (the emperor, king, chief priest, family father). Noah is the only major character in the Bible who did exactly as he was told to do without whining about it even if he had no clue as to how to do it. All of the other biblical characters, including Jesus, whined when they were directed to do something. Of course Noah was a drunk but he followed orders without exception.

    They probably dug up the fossil and figured it out from the bones. Heck, just digging up a T-Rex skull would give you lots of artistic inspiration.

    The Bible is an ethnocentric Jewish religion fairy tale and the idea that the Earth is 6,000 years old is based on their calendar, which is derived from their fairy tale.

    The current (2019/2020) Hebrew year is 5780.

    People like to travel for something a little different, like Mount Rushmore or the Crazy Horse Memorial at Keystone, or to eat at Psycho Suzi's in Minneapolis. See the USA.

    Being successful at electrical resonance does not do anything to lead to understanding Darwin principles.
