→Genetic drift and evolution
Although [[Atheism|atheistic]]/[[Philosophical naturalism|naturalistic]] evolutionists or evolutionists who subscribe to [[methodological naturalism]] insists that genetic drift combined with other natural process can cause [[macroevolution]], this is not plausible.<ref>[http://creation.com/refuting-evolution-chapter-2-variation-and-natural-selection-versus-evolution Refuting Evolution - Chapter 2 - Variation and natural selection versus evolution] by Jonathan Sarfati, Ph.D., F.M.</ref>

In the [[neutral theory of molecular evolution]], genetic drift is seen as the most important element causing evolutionary change at the [[DNA]] sequence level: Since most changes at the molecular level are neither good (beneficial) nor bad (deleterious), but neutral, these changes must "drift" to fixation.
