« Mutation: Sudden Change in Genes »

Can we accept that man is deposed from his humanity and turned into another creature?  Can scientific rules justify transformation of a human face into that of an animal?
If this face is to be formed, where will the change occur? And how will science accept this? Or is such a thing entirely impossible?

If such an issue is to be truly accepted by scientists over the world, where and which rule of human physical composition has to be first investigated? Does it have to start from the first gene? Or should man’s plasma be investigated? Or do haematology and primary genetics need to be discussed and researched on? Or do the entire philosophical powers, i.e. the initial sheer power and movement and mobility and enthusiasm and zest which are within 33 billion cells in man’s body, change and transform? What should be done?

Yes, there is a term named ‘mutation’ which means sudden and unpredictable changes in genetic matter (genes). In other words, is it possible that a change accidentally occurs in a gene which forms a man?

Indeed, experience has revealed that some changes may occur over a period of time in some aspects of man’s appearance. However, these changes do not occur in the true face, i.e. pillars of man’s essence, but rather in variables. For instance, Nader Shah (king of Iran, 1688-1747) because of the power he had, wanted to discover whether it was possible to change people’s beliefs, skin colours and faces. Therefore, he had tribes move from one area to another to change the people. In other words, he would cause people of one race to marry people of other races or he would order a tribe who lived in tropical areas to be moved to other areas so that he could maybe cause transformation in people’s faces and even in their beliefs. Yes, this would happen, but it was minor and in another way (not sudden change). In other words, there would be changes in the people’s skin colour, body mass or social behaviour and other external variables due to the weather condition and nutrition and other factors. 

Such transformations have occurred and do occur. But does this justify transformation of human faces?

If you are willing, await further explanation of this subject.
