Gender: Unspecified Location: With Cinderella and the 9 Dwarves
Oh, I don't know, that's why it is a "theory" ... but there is quite a lot of evidence pointing at it being a very good estimate...sure it probably still needs further adjustment but it makes very good sense...if I'd intelligently design a species one day I'd cerrtainly include Evolution...
Evolution takes a long, long, long time.
Sit and watch your fingernails grow, just do that for an hour. Seeing any changes?
Evolution is a million times slower.

Because mutation is a break or replacement of information, If I bombed a building the structure would change but it wouldn't have new features now answer my question and I'll shut up.

You wouldn't...your DNA is set.
And Mutation is a change in the DNA that's why something new can be created. If you change the blueprints of a house before it is built the house will look different afterwards, will it not?

EDIT: You just answerd my question
Bardock no offense but hit the books a mutation isn't a addition it's an alteration of already existing genetic info new genetic info cannot and has not been created through mutations, this is why evolution falls apart.

That in itself is a mutation. Originally humans did not create the enzyme needed to break down lactose, since it is found in cow's milk and isn't natural to the human body. Since people began drinking cow's milk, people have over time adapted to be able to break down lactose in their bodies. Those who are lactose-intolerant cannot do so because they do not have the DNA code that creates the enzyme.
Mutations are rare. Beneficial mutations to the DNA are even MORE rare. But they occur, and if they do, they can be passed on, creating a new trait.
And yes, new traits can be created by an alteration of DNA coding. It's really not that hard to understand and I fail to see how people cannot grasp that concept, since genetics is probably the easiest thing in biology to understand.
