(cont'd from yesterday's post)
Evolution, change over time in living organisms, is driven by random variation (random gene mutations) and "natural selection," meaning that good mutations spread when individuals with that mutation have a survival advantage.
But gene mutations don't typically install new, beneficial features. Genetic mutations may help the species adapt to its environment, but not by giving it new updates--like a new generation phone with updated features.
"In short, helpful mutations don't install new features-- they are not a DNA upgrade." They don't add a new functions that create higher forms of life.
