I've shown you that Evolution cannot stand with our current knowledge. I've shown you that it's a belief, albeit a more reasonable belief than say religion, but that to assume with any certainty that is has any foundation is false.
I've shown you that mutations of cells, viruses, and bacteria don't naturally lead to the conclusion that multi-levelled, multi-celled organism evolved from them. Mutations may be just that, mutations. To make the leap in logic to say that because a cell mutates that it will one day become an animal that contains trillions of muscle cells, skin cells, heart cells, is a leap in logic. It is not proven, it has yet to be demonstrated even on the most rudimentary level.

You haven't used the socratic method at all. As a matter of fact, the socratic method has been used on you and backed you into a corner that you can't get out of. You've refused to tell me how natural selection in large animals can occur without mutation after I questioned you into admitting that natural selection does in fact occur. You're stuck on that paradox and have ignored several repostings of the question.
