Random events can't occur twice?
Flip a coin three times...
Selection is not random
Uh...you seem to have missed the "Geocentric universe" as in Earth centered, JB...as in forcing a explanation based on a preconceived notion.
And we're not talking about a simple binary example like a coin flip as you well know.
Generate two grand prizes winning Powerball tickets randomly in the same week and you've scratched the surface proving the possibility of parallel evolution.
Just to get you started, here is some lottery math: Lottery Math
Finally, selection not being random is moot since mutation IS random and vast majority of those mutations are damaging."Studies in the fly Drosophila melanogaster suggest that if a mutation changes a protein produced by a gene, this will probably be harmful, with about 70 percent of these mutations having damaging effects, and the remainder being either neutral or weakly beneficial.[4] Due to the damaging effects that mutations can have on cells, organisms have evolved mechanisms such as DNA repair to remove mutations.[1]"
Doesn't matter, you only need 30% positive ones when speaking of a population of millions.
You're not getting 30%. You left out the neutral and the article doesn't break down the neutral from the weakly beneficial nor does it define "weakly beneficial".
