However, one *force* does. Its called natural selection. Natural
selection takes a sea
of random changes and selects (hence the term "selection") from that
random sea of changes,
changes that increase reproductive propensity.
Yes, Natural Selection to the rescue! The only problem here is that
Nature can only select, in a positive manner, those sequences or
structures that are functional reproductively advantageous.
This function-based limitation to NS is a problem. How so? Because,
NS cannot actually see or direct what is going on genotypically. It
can only see phenotypic changes. What happens is that there are
genotypic non-beneficial changes that exist between potentially
beneficial phenotypic changes. The wider these gaps, the longer it
takes purely random changes to cross these gaps in order for NS to
come back into the ball game.
Good. Now prove any of these gaps actuallyexist.
Show all maths.
