[ARCHIVED] - Creation vs. Evolution

[Tiberius]

I don't understand much about this stuff, but I do know this. When a changes are observed, they do one of two things. THey either change order, or leave part of the sequence out.

Well you are correct when you say you don't know much about this stuff. The mutations aren't "one of two things". Here is a list of types of observed mutations (with handy pictures to explain them):

That means that they either don't lose anything, or they lose some information.

And I've explained to you how this view of "information" is completely wrong in the genome. Losing a acid base is not equivalent to losing a piece of information. Information in the genome is denoted by specific pieces of genetic code. Taking out one acid base from a part of a DNA sequence doesn't mean that the information is lost, but it may be changed. That acid base may have meant nothing to the specific sequence it was in (junk DNA) so removing it through a mutation may not have any effect. It may have been restricting another part of the sequence, and so removing it altered the sequence to unleash it's full potential. And yes, if that acid base was a vital part of the sequence, it may cause damage to the organism, but natural selection does a handy job of removing bad mutations from the environment.

If it goes from STEAM to STEM, please explain how no info was lost. Unless, of course, it is still there, and just isn't appearing. idk. It HAS to be one of those 2. ANd then either way, it fits with the next step.

As stated above, information in genetics can only really be metaphorical for strands of DNA, not individual acid bases. In this case, an acid base was lost, but information wasn't (it was changed to another word).

But how do you knwo that that isn't true?

All current scientific research supports my arguments. If it didn't I wouldn't argue them. There is a reason why science has a consensus opinion that Evolution happens, and that the theory of Evolution is the best way of explaining this Evolution.
