Does the theory of Evolution belong in comic books?
Mutations are needed for the Evolution theory to work. So every living thing in the planet is a result of mutations? So we are walking mutants? Yet Wikipedia states Mutants to be fictional? Wikipedia states “The idea of a mutant is a common trope in comic books and science fiction”.
So does the theory of Evolution belong in comic books?
No, but your question does. It is beyond my ken and patience to address such ignorance, but, it suffices to say that you are dead wrong. Every living thing on the planet is the result of natural selection. You have missed the bigger part of a two part evolutionary tale. Random mutation, that is of several varieties for variants, and natural selection, which is the driving force of evolution. The rate of random mutations among humans is pretty well understood. Some mutations are harmful; some are beneficial and some are neutral. They are copying errors and point mutation, transpositions, etc., etc.. All in a population have them all the time. Some are selected naturally, against the background of environment. An incremental increase in fitness leaves more offspring that contain the incremental increase in fitness. Every where, all the time, natural selection is summing up these increases,in response to immediate environmental change. No magic and not fiction. I suggest that you educate yourself further. Perhaps your next attack on mutational theory will have more punch.
