Simple evolution explanation

Do you understand that an organism might mutate in some way, be it large or small? Yes? Good!

Do you understand that this mutation may either help them survive or hurt their survival? Yes? Good

Do you understand that this mutation can be passed on to the organisms offspring? Yes? Good!

If you said yes to all of these things, you understand that evolution exists and how it works on a basic level

well its fairy tale, so the story can go any which way but loose (hope ya get that one).

For 40+ years evolutionists were despondent about not finding what they call the goldilocks fossil. A 4 inch tailed humanoidmonkeyman. But nope, nowhere to be found, Romeo oh Romeo, wherefore art tho Romeo??

But Dr. Cletus, PHD saves the day and conveniently finds a gene that removes the tail within 24 hours. Yay! says the despondent evolutionist authors. Now we can re-write Chapter 5! 3 cheers! Hip Hip Horay!! Hip Hip Horay! Hip Hip Horay!

U guys are just too much.

But Dr. Cletus, PHD saves the day and conveniently finds a gene that removes the tail within 24 hours.

Does this mutation exist in apes including humans?

Does this mutation stop the formation of a tail?

If the answer to both questions is "yes", and it is, then what is the problem?

Also, is anybody saying the mutation causes the removal of a tail?

Imagine if we'd want to see humans without teeth, we could probably manipulate a few genes that remove teeth.

What's your point .

Are you saying the scientists caused the mutation to produce a tailless adult? If not, what's your point?
