Or it's stuck in a rut where no mutations of its current form are helpful even if there are hypothetical forms that perform the same lifestyle more effectively.
Evolution happens in tiny steps, a creature can find itself in a spot where none of those tiny steps are more helpful.

evolution by random mutation is fake and gay. 100% mutation would either kill the individual or just create noise without any meaningful contribution to fitness.

That's not how it works. The bacteria adapted to several new environments by deriving novel genetic information which came via random mutation. Thus we have directly observed new biological information being created randomly and it improving fitness. We've directly observed natural selection.
The environment can change or remain similar over time. That's irrelevant

Because it developed via random mutation on the genome. An entirely new sequence of DNA randomly mutated which coded for a new protein. That derived new biological information which gave it a new phenotype and a new ability to survive in a new environment and improved fitness, which then proliferated.
This is a direct observation of random mutation and selection i.e. evolution.

I just did. Your problem is you're a retard and you think that some mutations are "not allowed" for no reason other than that you're a coping creationist retard
Mutations on DNA make a new string of nucleotides. This new string is new biological information. It codes for a new mRNA which translates into a new protein. This new protein interacts with the organisms other proteins and cells and such in a new way which leads to new phenotype and behavior. This phenotype and behavior then undergoes selection in its environment which either increases, decreases, or doesn't change it fitness (the amount of offspring and copies it makes in the genepool).
Over time different mutations and different selection pressures lead to entirely different forms and organisms. Including multicellular life, animals and plants, and all the species we see including humans
There is NOTHING "special" about one mutation vs another in terms of this underlying mechanism. You going "they can develop nylon eating abilities b-but not legs or hands!" is just you coping with the put right in front of you. The development of eating nylon vs growing legs or wings or big brains is the same thing: mutations on strings of nucleotides making new proteins and phenotypes.

Speciation happens when two of the same species are totally separate for extended periods of time.
If we left chihuahuas alone, and never artificially fertilized them with other dogs, they'd more than likely speciate to the point that they'd no longer be inter-fertile with something like a great dane or wolf. .

Yes, it does.
Humans literally are apes, just like we are mammals, and we are vertebrates, and we are animals, and we are eukaryotes
You have no problem with the statement "humans are mammals" or "humans are vertebrates" but the statement "humans are primates" makes you angry for some reason. You creationists are all the same.

The similarities are because we descend from a common ancestor and we literally ate primates.
We do ignore differences, the differences are what categorize us as different species in the class.
Humans objectively are primates just like we objectively are mammals.
>>16277541
Mutations on nucleotide sequences are directly observed. You denying this is not an argument. "Evolution of the gaps" is not a real thing
We directly observe generation of new biological information and we directly observe speciation. You going "KINDS KINDS" isn't an argument because "kinds" are not a real thing. Genetics are real, ERVs are real
You denying this does not mean we haven't proved it. It just means you're going "nuh uh nuh uh" because you're a creationist religious retard

even most primitive tribes have a desire to explain the world around them, have a mythology and understand that there is an unseen or spiritual world
ironically atheists are taking this away from humans making them more akin to animals in that regard
creating art
decorating their homes and bodies with accessories they perceive as appealing
having a sense of beauty and harmony
the necessity to work out in order to gain or maintain strength
raising a human and a gorilla in a sedentary lifestyle, the human would grow weak and frail while the gorilla would still develop more muscle mass than any athletic human

So? If you showed me the eyes of a lion and a house cat they would be immediately distinguishable, as would the eyes of a dog and a fox, a spiny tailed gecko and a golden tailed gecko, a frog and a toad, a viper and a mamba, etc, etc. That is possibly the worst reasoning I have ever heard for anything ever, you can have two species that are closely related have similar looking eyes or entirely different looking eyes.

None of those things means humans aren't apes any more than they mean humans aren't mammals or vertebrates or animals. The reason we are apes is the same as the reason we are mammals or vertebrates; because we fit the definition of these groups.
Being able to use reason and make music does not mean we aren't primates, just like it doesn't mean we don't have spinal cords.

They don’t like the fact that Darwin’s theory has since been confirmed through direct observation which is why they try to imply that evolution refers only to huge changes like a fish to a horse. Only problem is they’re forgetting Darwin’s original writings on evolution were based on things like different beak shapes in Galapagos finches, but apparently that’s microevolution and doesn’t count as real evolution

Agreed. As much as I hate Dawkins’ usual drama, the Ancestor’s Tale beautifully explains how the “species” of an organism is a dynamic concept, how gradual changes lead to new species and genera, and how there’s no concrete gap: at every point in the genealogical line connecting, say, modern humans and homo erectus, any hominid you pick will be extremely similar phenotypically and genetically to its son, grandson, parents and grandparents. But do the same for many, many generations and you see diverging species. This is “microevolution”, there are no jumps, we didn’t suddenly lose most of our great ape body hair in 5 generations.

To say this you would need to have recorded interbreeding of each species with every other species which obviously hasn’t been recorded. The largest Galapagos finch is five times the size of the smallest, even if they were genetically compatible they likely couldn’t interbreed
>they all have the same number of chromosomes

Exactly. And then when you show direct evidence of transitions and such, they just deny it anyway and pretend it isn't real. They have to literally claim that radiometric dating isn't real to pretend that the earth isn't billions of years old.

Not really. Calling humans apes is a generalisation from genus to family, primates being fish is from order to superclass. Those two things are not comparable. Calling a human an ape is equivalent to calling a chimp an ape or calling a lion a cat
