I guess my main question to people who claim that evolution is a "fairy tale" is this: do you deny the documented mutations that occur in early pregnancy? If you do, then you're a flake. If you don't, then why is it so difficult that smaller mutations are occuring all the time?

I do not question mutations at all. I do question the assertion that beneficial mutations are not directed by the same being who created life to begin with.

But the case under discussion is a beneficial mutation, at least for plants in regions where hummingbirds are the dominant pollinator. I've read the entire paper, and I don't see where divine intervention was involved.

What about the bad mutations? Who caused those? Mutations, both good and bad, are the result of the same process. Why discard the bad as due to "nature" and ascribe the good to God? Could some of the bad ones be due to God presenting a "challenge" to an individual?
