I had a question for evolutionists and was hoping ya'll could help me out. =)
How could a fish give birth to offspring with legs if the parents didn't have legs in thier DNA? And if prehistoric fish did have DNA with legs in it why don't fish have DNA with legs now?
if someone could help me out that'd be great!!!

Hi Piano,
I am willing to promote this topic but first I'd like to see you participate more in the other topic you started. I know you got jumped on at first, but if you persevere I'm sure you can find someone more moderate in their replies to help you. Percy seemed to want to discuss the issue with you.

    Doing great!
    Hello, pianoprincess*! I browsed through your replies and noticed that you are doing just great! It takes a while to catch on to EvC and how it flows. When I first came here, I posted a lot, and many of my posts were off the cuff and merely me voicing a quick opinion or belief.
    As to this topic, do you want to rewrite it? You can change your title even! Just hit the EDIT button on your first post and rewrite a better opening point (articulate, concise...all that jazz!)
    and get back to us by Feb. 7th. Let us know!

    I am going to reiterate my suggestion here that you participate more fully in the other topics you have posted in, including the one you started. (Yes, I know that was closed for topic drift, but if you wanted to actually participate, it could be reopened.)
    You seem to keep jumping all over the board, never staying in one place long enough to actually get into a debate.

    A suggestion
    Aside from showing that you can actually finish something you start I'll suggest some improvment to your OP.
    1) The title needs work; I think you mean to say "No New Genetic Information". I'm presuming that you have assumed that there is information in the genome.
    2) You need to define (with what is called an "operational definition" - google that) what information is. In particular you need to offer a way to measure it so one can tell if it is increasing or decreasing with any change. If you meant to say "new" in the topic title then you would have to define how one would recognize new genetic information from old. Without making what you mean clear there is nothing to discuss.
    3) Give more of your reasoning. You say that "Genetic information doesn't just disappear". You'd have to explain how it can't "just disappear" if there is a change in the genome from one generation (or many) to the next.
    4) Do not make dogmatic sounding statments about things that you have little knowledge of. In fact, you haven't any idea at all what "genetic information" might be. Nor do you know if it can disappear, appear or anything else.

    OP and a place to peek
    OP means Opening Post.
    Have a look at:
    Message 9
    You have to understand and answer that as it IS the topic you have here.
