Macro and Micro evolution for dummies.

[John V]

And there was no one who argued either of those positions, so what's your point?

You did, when you talked about "loss" or "addition" or information (as if someone added or removed information at will).

No, you read it into what I said, as your parenthetical above indicates.

Mutations can't cause "loss" or "addition" of information.

Bacteria don't have the genetic information to produce a backbone, arms and legs. Evolution assumes that mutations can indeed create such new information. Information can be lost by damaging mutations, or by selection, whether natural or artificial.

Therefore talking about dogs as wolves who have "lost information" is nonsense.

Dog breeds were created by man choosing for select phenotypic traits such as size, shape, coat color, conformation, and behavior. Rigorous phenotypic selection likely resulted in a loss of genetic information. [Empahsis added]
