: : : : : : : The concept of a latent library posits a mechanism very different from the classical theory of evolution wherein random mutations provide the changes in morphology.
: : : : : : Now, how are the latent genes protected from mutation?
: : : : : The are not protected by anything, of course!
: : : So they could change from their original, latent form, over a period of time to do something different from what the designer intended them to do?
: : : No, they will only change to the extent they eventually cause a sentient human being to come into existence
:
: What do sentient human being have to do with it?
: Nature seeks complexity because complexity carries with it survivability through intelligent adaptability.
Which species has that in spades? Homo Sapiens!
Look, the simplest form of life, bacteria, lacks this feature. Though as a group bacteria have been on earth longer than any other form of life, as individuals they are not a success story. Their genetic DNA lacks any mechanism to retard or correct for mutant errors in the transcription. Every mutation produces either a new variety or a dead cell. Massive numbers of mutations occur, the overwhelming number of which are nonfit and persish. As a group they survive by sacrifice of the individual. So, sentience is indeed important to survivability and the more intelligent the species the greater the liklihood that it will continue to survive.
I made an enormous mistake not including this additional information in my original post for which I do humbly apologize.
: : Wow, that's pretty close to mainstream evolutionism too!
: : : Not at all, which is what I have been attempting to explain here
: Try harder.
: Alright!
