Macro and Micro evolution for dummies.
#45
RE: Macro and Micro evolution for dummies.
Quote:Some creationists go further, adding that macroevolution must involve addition of information, while microevolution is change resulting from loss of information.

Evolution doesn't deal with "information". It deals with genotypes that causefenotypes. A certain fenotype can be an advantage in a situation and a disadvantage in another. There's no "loss" or "addition" of information, just transmission of genotypes related to fenotypes that make it possible to have offsprings.

Talking about "information" is begging the question. Creationist assume the evolution has a purpose, that it "aims" at something. It doesn't. What work in a specific environment doesn't work in a different one. Saying things like "this animal is more or less evoluted than this other one" is talking nonsense.
