>Ah, didn't expect a response so soon.
I'll take that as a compliment.

>cancer and its causes
Easily explained via degeration from a created optimal state. As you've demonstrated, many mutations are either non-harmful or almost fatal, as opposed to beneficial.

>I don't know why you think animals are so special. Plants can be observed, however, mutating. The brand of corn we have now is quite different than a century ago.
It's still corn, though. It's not a rose, or broccoli. It's corn.

>Yeah, I'm also familiar with the basic scope of our universe, and how unimaginably large it is.
Size and probability are two different things.

>Evolution has no purpose. It's a process. Things that happen to reproduce better, have a higher concentration in the entire solution. Mutation =! evolution, but also has no purpose.
But "better" is a subjective term that you're applying to a supposedly directionless process.

>No, where would you get this? All life has DNA, and has been evolving for the same amount of time, likely.
You are implying populations evolve. As certain variations or "races" of people have different traits, one could draw out a heirarchy based on those traits, and then act upon them.

>puddle of goo+time+random mutations+unguided chance=human being
I'd have an easier time believeing a princess's kiss turned a frog into a prince.

What about the sequence of horse fossils? Modern equines were found in the same layer as their supposed ancestors. Not to mention the eohippus is actually closer to the hyrax than the horse.
