There is no evolution or creationism - this is the new Matrix/DNA world view

Mutations are not a game. They are either beneficial or detrimental to the cell.

You forgot a third option: neutral.

But beneficial or detrimental they can not produce new information.

In order for this claim to be relevant, you need to show that evolution would need to produce new information (as you define it) in order to produce the biodiversity we see today.

When the male sperm and the female egg combine the 23 chromosomes from each the DNA required to build a human exists in whatever you want to call that entity. I call it a human being. The amazing thing is that the DNA that is present at that moment will always produce a human being. It never produces any other creature. Since that human being has a mind, body and spirit what ever the existence before T=0 was it would have the same as man is created in that image and likeness.

That is a lot of empty assertions. What you are ignoring is that the DNA in sperm and eggs carries mutations, so offspring are going to be different than their parents. Also, mutation is random as are the specific egg and sperm that unite to form that offspring. There is no guarantee at any point that a specific human will be produced. The same two parents will produce a different human being every time, with its own specific genome that is different from parents and siblings.

As you move forward in time and humans change, at what point do you no longer call them humans? At one time there were only wolves. Now there are wolves and thousands of dog breeds. At what point did a wolf stop being a wolf and become a Chihuahua?

You don't need to "add new information". You just need to change the existing information.

Poker is a game. Mutations are not a game. They are either beneficial or detrimental to the cell.

So you would discard three bad cards and draw new ones from the deck even though the cards from the deck are in random order. Why?

And what is the difference between a beneficial mutation and one that adds new information?

Hi Taq,

Maybe I have got things wrong.

As I understand it each human cell has all the information required to build a human body. Is this true?

If each human cell has all the information required to build a human body, how can the information in those cells produce anything other than a human body?

For the information in those cells to produce something other than a human body a lot of new information would be required.

Where would that information come from?

Maybe you can clear this up for me.

God Bless,

You really wouldn't want to play poker with me. Poker is a game of math.

A beneficial mutation would be one where something is aided such as a worm in my garden. I spray him with poison and eventually his offspring builds an immunity to the poison. I would then have to use a different poison to control. his offspring. His offspring would develop an immunity to that poison and I would have to change poisons again. After the fourth generation I could return to the original poison and control that generation with it until they built up an immunity to the poison. So we would have and endless cycle of changing poisons. This critter would remain a worm.

New information introduced into the cells would cause the cells to build something other than the worm I had been trying to control.
This critter would be something other than a worm.

Which the correction mechanism's in the DNA would correct.

Hi MrHambre,

MrHambre writes: Ever heard of gene duplication? That's when DNA recombination gives rise to a copy of a gene, which then acquires mutations that make it produce a different protein and serve a different function in the organism.

If it is a duplicate it can do nothing that the original could not do.

Every time a duplicate cell is made it has the exact same DNA information as the original. If it didn't it would not be a duplicate.

Yup.

Hi Tangle,

Where is the explanation then.

God Bless,

ICANT writes: Which the correction mechanism's in the DNA would correct.

The fact that there IS a correction mechanism shows that the operation of DNA is not perfect - i.e. the correction mechanism doesn't always work either.

IC writes: Where is the explanation then.

You're not interested in the explanation, you can't be because it's been given to you - and many others here - over and over again.

So I thought I'd just cut to the chase.

But to help you out a bit. Biology does not expect, nor does evolution predict, that one species will give birth to a different species. That's Just creationist bollox ie a lie.

Every time a duplicate cell is made it has the exact same DNA information as the original.

He's not talking about cells duplicating, he's talking about gene duplication.

DNA replicates itself, but that replication process is imperfect and prone to errors.

Whenever DNA replicates itself, the new strand of DNA is never exactly the same as the strand it was duplicated from.

Yes, that is not perfect duplication.

But those replication errors do lead to new information being added to the DNA.

As I understand it each human cell has all the information required to build a human body. Is this true? If each human cell has all the information required to build a human body, how can the information in those cells produce anything other than a human body? For the information in those cells to produce something other than a human body a lot of new information would be required.

Wow, is your understanding of evolutions really limited to one individual giving birth to an offspring that is a different species?

Evolution happens to populations, not individuals.

And its so gradual that nobody would ever really notice.

Do you really think that one day a wolf gave birth to a chihuahua?

You really wouldn't want to play poker with me. Poker is a game of math.

I'm not afraid of your math.

In any event, a poker game has very little to do with math because everybody competent knows the relative probabilities.

A beneficial mutation would be one where something is aided such as a worm in my garden. I spray him with poison and eventually his offspring builds an immunity to the poison.

How exactly is that accomplished, ICANT. You are describing a possible result and not a mechanism.
