What makes you think we haven't evolved since god put us on the earth?? Our environment has changed, we would have to change or die out, regardless of how perfect His design was.In fact, now that I think about it, He designed man for the garden of eden. Then later he said "go forth and multiply"...I don't remember any part of the bible with god saying "here let me give you a little tweaking before I send you out in the wide and varied world". Why would you think that evolution isn't gods fingers on us, helping his children survive???
Either way, this was not supposed to be a biblical debate. The point was that "mutations" have a bad rep and are honest to goodness the only way the human race advances biologically, at least until such time as genetic engineering becomes common. It may be slowed by modern medicine, but I assure you, in the long run evolution will win out.
When and where this process started, I don't care to debate it, the debate could go on for years. It certainly has in the academic community.sl
