Ok....thank you peter borger for the explanations. The only reason I brought this up on this site is because when I asked evolutionists at another debate forum what they thought about this concept I got nothing but silence...hence my confusion. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I see you're quite a bit ahead of me ![[Smile]](smile.gif) I would like to read your book. S

Do not confuse "beneficial" and "rare".
Your sentence should read:
"Animal breeders are fully aware of RARE mutations, and will often wait a lifetime for such a mutation in purebred species."
For the breeder's business a rare mutation in animals could turn out to be benificial, however.

peter borger said this:
"The data are all there and you can find them among the thousands of publications released each month. I know how to find them and present many examples of fast-track non-random genetic changes in my new book GUToB."
Can anyone tell me where on the internet I can find any studies that show these examples of fast-track non-random genetic changes? It's amazing that I can only come up with a handful of examples. I don't know if I'm just not looking in the right place, or if there's some sort of wide-spread conspiracy going on. Maybe a little of both. Thanks, S

Look for the Lenksi experiments, and the like on pubmed. Lenski believes he is studying the evolution of microorganisms. In actuality he shows how bacterial genomes are extensively reshuffled and thus obtain a reproductive advantage (selection of increased fitness he says, but that is the same as a reproductive advantage). He also showed that bacterial lines 40000 generation apart arrived at exactly the same gene expression pattern. He demonstrates the multipurpose genome in action, and how it looses environment induced genetic redundancies (programs not under selective constraint).
