"Similarly , every mutation that has ever occurred has had a definite proximate cause , and if we knew what they all were and what they would all be in the future , evolution would lie mapped out before us in all its detail . Nevertheless , in the absence of perfect knowledge of these individual causes we can still describe the occurrence of such events statistically , saying how long we might have to wait , or how many trials we might conduct in order to expect a given outcome . So to say that the evolution of the nylon bug , for instance , was based on chance is misleading : the evolution of the nylon bug was based on whatever proximate cause shuffled its DNA ."
"Invalid argument to assert that mutations can map a road outside of their assigned task in illogical , where would the information to do so come from ? Biology works because every individual cell doing what it was created to do along with what the one next to it was , though created to perform another set of instructions creates the molecular change that the combination of the cells together would produce . But there is no additional information there ... not int he way you assert ."
