The normal English term for "mutation" is "birth defect". Ever notice the women out collecting for the Mothers' March of Dimes? Ever notice that they're always collecting money for research to PREVENT mutations, and not to cause them? Figure there might be a reason for that?

Picture some ten-year-old American kid growing up on a steady diet of public schools and TV, who had never heard of Chuck Darwin or evolutionism. Picture some guy representing Howard Hughs walking up to the kid and saying:

Kid, for a million bucks, I need you to devise an atheistic ideological doctrine to explain the present biosphere without recourse to anything resembling a creative act, engineering, or re-engineering or anything like that at all, and it has to be the stupidest ideological doctrine which has ever been devised. Moreover, it has to be based on stuff which you watch on television on a regular basis.

Here's what I suspect the kid might come up with. We're talking about a new reality TV series which involves five guys with Sten guns, AKs, and M16s, a bunch of criminals from death row who have volunteered for the program, and a bunch of chimpanzees, and the chimpanzees have spent the last three months watching ER, and all other available doctor and medical shows. They line the criminals up against the wall, and the guys with the automatic rifles mow em down. Notice I specified relatively light calibre rifles and not FALs or M14s or anything which guarantees outright kills. The idea is that the chimpanzees now will try to use their newly acquired medical skills to repair the shot-up criminals.

The doctrine says that the vast majority of these shot-up and "repaired" criminals will die off, most of them within an hour or two, but due to the law of averages, a very few will get put together beter than they were before, and the progeny of these few will become UEBERMENSCHEN, and breed together to form ever improved new races of men.

How's that grab you?
