When you assumed that only one gene and one mutation was involved.

How does this falsify my hypothesis? |
Because your hypothesis predicts that the same mutation will occur in the same gene. It's not limited to frameshifts or a single species. Your hypothesis is about living things in general.
| Quote | | How do you know the mutation was random? |
Because it was different than the initial one, and in an entirely different gene. Your hypothesis predicts that the same mutations will occur every time. You can't honestly weasel out of it by claiming that it only applies to one species and one gene.
