Are you saying the people at the Smithsonian are inerrant? They did publish an article by Stephen Meyer in their journal supporting creation though, so are you saying you now support creationism because the Smithsonian gave the article the thumbs up?

The only sources I can find that even detail how the process works are creation sources (they cite a few articles from Nature Genetics, but I do not have those articles), since you don't accept those I won't waste our time posting them. However, if the mutation had actually resulted in a new mechanism we would be hearing about it all over the news because it would be the first ever observed case from this happening. I think it’s safe to assume this is no different from all the other cases; the mutation damaged the already existing mechanism.
Quote: It does matter. You stated that evolution results in loss of genetic information and that no genetic information is gained by it. Now, you are saying it doesn't matter if it is gained. This is pointless if you are not consistent.
I was being consistent, when I said genetic information I was speaking of semantic information. Then you came in pointing to increases in Shannon information, which is meaningless. Creationists are well aware that Shannon information is changed all the time, but in order for common descent to be true we would need to observe increases in semantic information all the time, we have never observed even one. So we kind of missed each other on that one.

Is that why 95 percent of the fans at a Cannibal Corpse concert are male and 90 percent of the fans at a Lady Gaga concert are female?
