Mutations are a loss of information not a gain, the loss comes from what is already there and it's actually not loss, it's replaced by something else already there. No new info at all, period.
I learnt this from the scientific literature where papers are written based on reproducible evidence. I have used this to practical effect myself for many years.
If you start with a completely randomised population of genotypes then using only the crossover operator you will end up with a far less varied population over time, even if you do not have a fitness function acting as selective pressure. Only the mutation operator can increase the information content of the genotype.
You need to know this to understand how to design your genetic algorithm and how to set your mutation rate.
You on the other hand Godscreated are just reading this from creationist authors who do not understand the theory of evolution and wish it did not exist.
It is clear that neither you nor the creationist authors you parrot even understand the well defined concept of information.
Those creation scientist you like to refer to as not understanding evolution know are great deal about it, many were atheist and evolutionist that just couldn't reconcile it with the information that was available. Many of the scientist that work for the Creation ministries are hired from secular universities where they were taught evolution and not creation science. All these scientists have PHD's and I have personally seen debates between an evolutionary scientist and a creation scientist, I guess I do not have to tell you who came out on top of the debates, I will say this the evolutionary scientist didn't stand a chance, after two debates he gave up and hasn't had one since that I know of.
Yes I repeat what they say, they are the highly educated ones and what I read I agree with them, if I didn't I would say so. I'm not one to be lead around by the nose you could ask anyone in my church and they would tell you the same thing. By the way no new information can be added to DNA and without that no new kind can evolve. A mutation is a step backwards even some of the other atheist have said this.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
