Logically, as far away as labelling that a random mutation happened
in
the corn field.

No because the sorts of mutations which nature has learnt to allow to
multiply are ones beneficial to itself. The `junk' genes which can

years.
Nature has learnt to keep a strict order in the genome.

what total rubbish

where to you apply to 'nature' for a licence, where does 'nature' test
and
'allow' these genes.

Nature is not a person for christsake!

Organims including humans have learned to coexist.

Humans have difficulty coexisting with humans.

Most other creatures eat each other in one form or other.

Now we have to learn new lessons very fast.

What would they be?

Lettuce can take up E coli from soil and have it reside in the
edible portion. That E coli can have multiple drug resistance,
because of current practices.

So? Tell us something new. Every animal's gut is swarming with E coli.
It is everywhere. Only a few strains are pathogenic, and to actually
infect us, a huge number of organisms must be ingested.

E. coli:0157 is only pathogenic to those raised in isolation from it. When
people visiting farms stated catching it they started wondering why the farm
families didn't get it and had never had it. Seem if you are raised around
it as almost all people were 100 years ago you are immune. It is only when
you no longer have horses in the streets nor cattle near where your live
that catch the disease.
