The knowledge of evolution is one aspect of the problem with religion. Religious people are less likely to be aware of emerging science, or to simply discount it entirely due to their ideology, and therefore tend to make bad decisions about the course of society.

Good point Roman !!

However the new mutation of the gene only happens in one person - or egg or spermcell or fertilized egg or embryo !!!!!!!! ;)

After that it might be passed on .........
So it doesn´t matter that it takes two to tango .... :p

It does. Mutation isn't the only way to create new genetic material; sexual reproduction allows crossover (half a chromosome from each parent means entirely new genes can be formed at the connecting point). Experiments with genetic algorithms have in fact shown crossover to be more of a driving force for evolution than mutation.

That's thought to be the reason why all organisms but the simplest reproduce sexually. More complex organisms are prone to parasites and diseases; sexual reproduction allows defences against these to evolve quickly.

Anyway, that's one theory I read a while back ;)

That there is a very crucial point! There are areas such as genetics and human biology where it has rasied ethical issues often clashing with the progression of ground breaking research!
 
 
OK, forget everything I said, I have seen the light. Jesus has returned and I have seen Him...



...on this dog's butt.

Thats rather a broad generalisation and probably truer for Christians in America rather than all religious people worldwide.

What? Don't you know me by now? ;)

What is the problem with Sharia?

That they stopped ijtihad on it many years ago and have not moved forward.

ijtihad=consensus and review from Islamic scholars

Here is the take from an Islamic scholar.

BTW, this point is elaborately discussed in one of the links I posted earlier.

If you are not even glancing over them, don't make me waste my time.
