I am doing a separate thread for each of these to keep discussion focused.

8th Foundational Falsehood of Creationism: Mutations are rare and always harmful
In the absence of God, I found Man.

Are you pushing your own short comings on us and safely hating them from a distance?
Is this the virtue of faith? To never change your mind: especially when you should?
Young Earth Creationists take offense at the idea that we have a common heritage with other animals. Why is being the descendant of a mud golem any better?

Re: 8th Foundational Falsehood of Creationism: Mutations are rare and always harmful
Popular culture has done a number on us, in a variety of ways.
Among them is that the fact of mutation means anything goes. That means turtles can become ninjas, humans can telekinetically control metal, and that any mutation is a membership card to the hideous monster club.
But mutations are just modifications in our DNA. They happen at birth, as Aron points out, over a hundred per person, and continue to happen throughout life as our cells regenerate.
His video delves into the topic in good detail.
There were a couple of errors in this video, and Aron himself has posted some corrections. That's the essence of scientific integrity. Good on ya Aron.
