DNA changes are produced by many things, not just gamma rays. In fact,
every fertilized egg is an example of recombination of genetic material
that is unique.

I've already pointed out that not all changes provide for forms that
are better suited. Even if one does, there is no guarantee that
that one survives. It's a tough world out there.

Which is why evolution is a "theory," not a scientific fact.

A theory is a hypothesis backed by an abundance of fact. Get over it.

And so there must therefore be some force other than gradual variation which
drives evolution. What is it, pray tell?

It could be episodic change. No gods required. Get over it.

And then there's the change to upright gait...

You still insist on proving that you haven't got a clue what
you're talking about. Homo Sapiens has always walked upright.

Then the "scientific community" are evading the issue.

Bull****. The scientific community bases their science on
observation. The religious nut cases base their fantasies
on insisting on the existanc of God and then trying to force
fit the world to match their fantasies.

Any theory of evolution.

The only "theory" that you are using to judge the scientific
community is one of your own invention. Judge them on a
theory that actually exists.

Thus, evolution, even if true, does not disprove the existence of
God. Rejecting the possibility of God's existence merely because one
believes in the theory of evolution is shallow thinking indeed.

And who, in this discussion, has suggested that?

Nice backpedal. You did. To wit:

Where in that post did I state that God does not exist? I said that
it doesn't _prove_ that God exists. Big difference, twit. Learn
to read.
