Argument #3: Mutations

[JuliaL]

The so called new information that many evolutionists claim that takes place is a result of a corruption of already existing information.

Please consider the following thought experiment and explain how your claim that the genome can only experience 'corruption' via mutation.

1) there is a replicating organism with an existing genome
2) Transition #1: PING!- a cosmic ray causes a point mutation which changes an existing amino acid coding section. It no longer codes for that amino acid.
3) Transition #2: PING!- a second cosmic ray causes a second point mutation which reverts the genome to EXACTLY the same configuration as found in the initial state of 1) above.

In terms of your corruption of information concept, would you say that transition #1 is corrupting or is transition #2? If either, then one of the random changes has to be decreasing corruption and the other increasing. This is a defeater to your claim that genome changes can only increase corruption.
Possibly the states after transition #1 and transition #2 are somehow equal in corruption? If so, please explain how you measure them to arrive at that conclusion.
Is this hypothetical series of events impossible because.....reasons?
My prediction regarding your response is......crickets.
