" nearly impossible to explore a third possibility. Nevertheless, DNA studies are telling us that a third possibility exists. The scientific fact of the mutation that made our FOXP2 gene and complex speech possible, and the DNA fusion that created human chromosome 2 and enabled the advanced brain functions associated with it, as well as the evidence that suggests these mutations cannot be attributed to evolution alone, all invite us to consider something beyond creationism and evolution when it comes to our species’ origin. For the purposes of this discussion, and to honor the fact that mutations did occur, while acknowledging that something more than evolution contributed to the mutations, let’s call our third possibility directed mutation. The name says it all. Some force that is not presently accounted for in the scientific story is responsible for the precision, timing, and refining of the mutations that makes us who we are. That unknown force directed the mutations that science has now proven to exist. "
