'''Further Reply:'''  Overall the mutation sickle cell anemia is obviously harmful.  The same is true for all mutations.  Simple probability predicts this:  a random mutation is far more likely to reach a less desirable form.  The odds are overwhelming.  It is the same reason that heat always flows to cooler places.  If you think mutations can be beneficial, then do you also think heat can sometimes "by chance" flow to a hotter place?  That if we added billions of years it must happen sometimes?  Of course not.  It never happens.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 23:01, 14 January 2007 (EST)
