[quote:Anonymous Coward 72531636:MV8zNzMwOTYwXzY2ODI5MDQ0XzJDQzlGMTVB] Any mutation, those above included, are small rewrites to D.N.A with big changes. Beneficial mutations include people with the HbC variant of hemoglobin; "As reported in 2001 (see also), Italian researchers studying the population of the African country of Burkina Faso found a protective effect associated with a different variant of hemoglobin, named HbC. People with just one copy of this gene are 29% less likely to get malaria, while people with two copies enjoy a 93% reduction in risk. And this gene variant causes, at worst, a mild anemia, nowhere near as debilitating as sickle-cell disease." Lactase persistence (being able to digest milk as an adult) has not always existed in humans and is a fairly recent addition, and a very small scale example is anytime a bacteria becomes immune to an antibiotic, as they were one of the bacteria with a mutation that makes them immune to the antibiotic's effects one way or another.

Original Message
"And to Adam he said: “Because you listened to your wife’s voice and took to eating from the tree concerning which I gave you this command, ‘You must not eat from it,’ cursed is the ground on your account. In pain you will eat its produce all the days of your life. 18 And thorns and thistles it will grow for you, and you must eat the vegetation of the field. 19 In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.” Ge3;13
So..... the faith proves true?
