No, I didn't have to look far. Here's an example right under everyone's nose.
"In 3 or 4 generations, you're talking about eliminating at least 8 or 12 decendants (or many thousands in the case of insects & plants), and the selection god(ess)' chances are still only 1 in 1000 for each one. (S)he's never going to catch up. Never ever EVAR! It's mathematically impossible." Your own statement refutes this. 8 or 12 were already eliminated so "impossible" while having nice emotional appeal, is not an accurate descriptor.
Look closely. There are 8 - 12 offspring, descended from an ever-so-slightly defective mutant. And Linear just magically claims they're already eliminated!
This could be just an empty, utterly baseless claim generated just to be contrary and waste time. If there is any rationale behind it, it has to be that mutants with defects are
assumed to always be eliminated 100% of the time. Could be some genuine, real-deal, you-can-look-it-up cognitive dissonance involved too.
No reason exists for them to be "already eliminated". None! Mutant survived, reproduced, offspring resulted. They weren't statistically detectable in such a short timeframe, so they reproduced and... Linear says they're dead already. Just by a.) his say-so b.) selection magic.
Looks like some part of him can see implications, for sure!
One of the main points I am trying to make here is that evolutionists can't just declare lifeforms selected. Well, not and get away with it. They'll sure try, if you don't watch 'em. Every time. It's not a mutation; it repeats like clockwork.
By definition, a critter with such a small decrease in fitness has, for all practical purposes, the same chances as its fellows. Selection
cannot be said to kill it off 100% automatically. Neither can you retroactively try to assume it dead. Or its offspring. No way no how!
Look again. I'll change the format a bit, and bring it in line with convention.

He says my statement refutes this. What part of my statement mitigates against 8 to 12 surviving mutants with defects? Why, the part that says 8 to 12 ever-so-slightly defective mutants existed, of course! Who couldn't see that? If they're born, hatched, sprouted, you name it - evolutionist religion decrees they'll be eliminated 100% of the time, and the only explanation required is to chant 'natural selection' a few times.
All that remains is for LindaLou to get on my case for not understanding this aspect of 'natural selection' in the first place. I can hardly wait.
