I don't remember the exact numbers here, but I'm gonna say actual mutations account for maybe 3% of evolution, the HEAVY LIFTER is random recombination. Everyone has 2 copies of their DNA, one from ea...

Right, the “random” recombination is faster. I just dispute its actual randomness. In real biology, I think it just “looks random” if it’s beyond ones comprehension. One can obtain “convincing results” modeling with random recombination plus a dash of random mutation; I just dispute that’s what’s actually happening. We simply don’t yet know what we’re looking for.

As such I think evolutionary adaptation can happen much more rapidly - up to and including outright speciation even - under certain influences poorly understood. Obviously it’s not what we’d consider a ”common occurrence”. But it can be more common than it is. Something like hard pleomorphism might provide some confirmatory evidence for the possibility, absent a better understanding of the real forces at play.

Much of the above is outside the current biological paradigm. “Seeing no reason to believe” in Intentionally-driven evolution, in this instance, doesn’t really amount to much - considering the subject matter. Feel free to call it “unfalsifiable” as it won’t hurt my feelings 😆 - you’re not wrong. I’m just not especially attached to an ossified established paradigm that obviously hasn’t answered everything.

> I just dispute its actual randomness. You can take the position that all apparent randomness in the universe is in fact an expression of God's will. You will however run into trouble squaring that with the concept of Free Will, which implies that there's some will that's not God's and it's out t...

Any sufficiently advanced creationist theory is unfalsifiable - which is really the best place for a religious ideology to position itself.

Indeed, the huge vast majority of even White Mankind aren’t in any position to falsify much of anything current within the establishment dataset and paradigm. It’s really a priesthood by every metric. And we find ourselves beholden to them very much like the typical shopkeep in medieval Europe was beholden unto the Papal Church. The Ivory Tower remains gatekept by everything they can throw into it.

Well, it depends on how far you want to stretch it. If you adopt the "humans are unique metaphysical entities not subject to evolution like animals are", I obviously can't PROVE you wrong more than I can prove we're not in Plato's cave... BUT, for all intents and purposes, that doesn't really fit ...
