Some evolutionists admit mutation could not play a part in evolution
(Facts About Evolution)
Professor G. G. Simpson, one of the elite spokesmen for evolution, writes about multiple simultaneous mutations and reports that the mathematical likelihood of getting good evolutionary results would occur only once in 274 billion years! And that would be assuming 100 ...

Silent mutation
(Facts About Biology)
Silent mutations are DNA mutations that do not result in a change to the amino acid sequence of a protein. This kind of mutation may occur in a noncoding region (outside of a gene or within an intron), or they may occur within an exon in a manner that does not alter ...

Point mutation
(Facts About Biology)
point mutation, or substitution, is a type of mutation that causes the replacement of a single base nucleotide with another nucleotide. Often the term point mutation also includes insertions or deletions of a single base pair (which have more of an adverse effect on the synthesized ...

Nonsense mutation
(Facts About Biology)
nonsense mutation is a frameshift mutation in a sequence of DNA that results in a premature stop codon, or a nonsense codon in the transcribed mRNA. Often this mutation produces a truncated, and often nonfunctional, protein product
