The mechanism that we invoke is... Random mutation. Random mutation, which I believe in, random mutation happens, selection, which chooses those variants that are produced by mutation and collects the ones that give the creature an advantage. There's nothing wrong with that story. That story is true.

Random mutations happen, selection collects the ones that are good, and those collected advantageous mutations accumulate in the genome. All of that is true. What I'm arguing against is the idea that that transforms a shrew into a baton.

What you need to get a shrew turned into a bat is a much less crude mechanism whereby selection, which is ancient at the point that you have shrews, explores design space looking for ways to be that are yet undiscovered more systematically than random chance.

What is that desire? I believe there's a kind of information stored in genomes that is not in triplet codon form, that is much more of a type that would be familiar to a designer. either of machines or a programmer. What we did was we took the random mutation model and

We recognized that it was Darwinian, which it is, and we therefore assumed that it would explain anything that we could see that was clearly the product of Darwinian forces on the basis of those random mutations, and we skipped the layer in between in which selection has a different kind of information stored in the genome that is not triplet codon in nature.

Nope, not motivating, allowing it.

Oh, the motivation was there. It's primordial.

So the point is, let me try by analogy. Okay. Darwinists will tell you that evolution cannot look forward. It can only look backward. And there's a way in which that's just simply true. On the other hand, a Darwinist will also tell you that you are a product of evolution and you can look forward, right?
