This is what I call a civic conversation. I hope to be more enlightened on this subject which I have merely touched the surface of on my leisure time. Please keep them coming.

First please be aware of saying “my theory,” apparently we are expected to present experimental evidence to claim it a theory. Jokes aside, I see your point about DNA polymerase. What I am curious is why would these enzymes not play by the rule all the time and just catalyze the nucleotides into DNA given a template to copy from. My doubt is with the so called intelligence we assign them as in Darwin theories. You might counter that we don’t need to assign any intelligence here, but how else would it decide to mutate 1 in a million nucleotide it helps polymerize? Besides isn’t there a set restrictions on which strand it can add the nucleotides to etc etc? My theory (ahem..thought) is that environment kicks in and once in, say million, the timing and placement is just so right that the change (or mutation) occurs. There has been some new theories on how we developed limbs and what role did bacteria play in the early cell; even proposes mitochondria to have been introduced to the cell by environment. To align with that theory then, it would make more sense that randomness (or mutation) doesn’t happen, environmental changes force these mutation and the mutation that can survive will last. Why would one in a million population get hit by lightening? Because he was there at the right (or wrong) time/right place; rather than saying nature thought it was less of a survivor.

Would love to read more from you.
Fatbeast bhai, not trying to ignore you but I have nothing much to argue on something that doesn’t make sense. Jadhau and God bless your heart.
