"So you really do believe that organisms `` are equipped with a means of making small errors that allow natural selection `` turn a reptile to a bird and a monkey into a man ? To be `` equipped `` means there is a design feature . You are betraying your belief system . The errors can only be arbitrary and random and the organism is not equipped to function in any predetermined fashion . In the following example that you provided : What is the context of the word 'truncated ' ? The way I read it - it is talking about a truncated string of code or something . What was truncated ? ... * more than 100 LPL gene mutations have been identified , the majority of which cause loss of enzymatic function . In contrast to this , the naturally occurring LPLS447X variant is associated with increased lipolytic function and an anti-atherogenic lipid profile and can therefore be regarded as a gain-of-function mutation . This notion combined with the facts that 20 % of the general population carries this prematurely truncated LPL ... *"
