Is there objective Truth?
RE: Is there objective Truth?
You guys are just tooting your own horn. Gene duplication isn't new information being added, it's duplication.

"Mutations leading to new information (e.g., way of functioning, physical trait). Sometimes, it can have negative effects, sometimes positive, and sometimes a combination of both, depending on the environment type in which the mutation (or set of mutations) develop(s)."

What exactly are you expecting?   Evolution works within it's natural constraints.  It's not magic.

Genes duplicate and then undergo random mutation and natural selection.

Why the fuck is this thread about evolution now? Is it really about whether objective facts actually "exist," or is it now a general dumping ground for Christian objections to the non-Christianity of the 21st-century educated world?
