What’s the driving force behind evolution? Well, supposedly it’s mistakes in our DNA called mutations. Most mutations are very harmful to an organism and cause disease and death. Some go unnoticed.
Only a select few are beneficial and only under very specific conditions. And these few kinds of beneficial mistakes can’t account for the remarkable variety and intricacy we see in creation.
