Genetics
Beneficial mutations ~ this becomes reasonable
only if the question in begged. The case of the
peppered moth does not show mutation, but
rather variation like red, black, brown or blond
hair in humans. Beneficial mutations are far
outnumbered but harmful mutations. The
benefit of a mutation in environmentally linked
in an nstable environmental scenario.
Similarities in genetic make up is the same
argument as homology.

A critique:
 The wrong gases were used, scientists now think.
 Lightening destroys. The sparks are unrealistic.
 Current thought is that life formed at deep ocean
vents.
 Formaldehyde and cyanide are also formed in
these experiments.
