Hi all,
I just had an interesting thought whilst tackling Newtonian here.
Since most stock creationists (Buzz, you listening?) insist that there is no such thing as "junk" DNA, & that there is no new information when a gene is co-opted for another function. It stands to reason therefore, given that the genome of any given salamander (A. tigrinum is estimated at 32 x 10 9 bp compared to a human 3 x 10 9 bp) is much larger than a human, that were you to mutate a salamander to a human, it would involve information loss.
Wriggle out of that one Hovind!

interesting....... isn't it guys? Humans aren't the most complicated either. it all depends. so does that mean God put more work into the salamander then his most perfect creation?
