Okay, guys.
I'm not really good with Science so.. You have to help me out.. I was recently conversing with a Christian about my Atheistic beliefs and the subject of Creationist versus the random mutation theory came up.. because I've never been able to find a simplified explanation of the random mutation theory I couldn't explain to her exactly how it works and why I believe it.. Actually, I'm not too sure myself. Logic tells me that God does not exist, but how would I explain opposing theories to the Creationist theories in simple terms.. If anyone can provide explanations that I can actually comprehend please either a) email me at botticellis_angel@hotmail.com or just post here and I'll check back here and try and grasp the concepts.

I barely understood what this is about, my guess is that it goes to the Existence of Gods forum.

Wolverette,

I apologize for shoving this post around so much, but it sounds like you're asking for an explanation of biological evolution by random mutation and natural selection. I think you'll get a better response in our Evolution/Creation forum, so I'm sending it <a href="http://iidb.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=58&t=000564" target="_blank">there.</a>
