Impossible evolution of new beneficial proteins

You are talking through your hat - there is no such law. Here is a link to Shannon's original paper on information. Notice that the law you describe is not mentioned therein.What *is* mentioned is that the greatest source of new information is a random number generator. Which is pretty much the source of mutation.--Percy

Any event. If the event is illuminated, information about that event will be transmitted to your eyes.--Percy

Looks like we have a Dembski or Gitt disciple. Dillan used to say the same thing.--Percy

Spetner is wrong. You can understand why by following this scenario.Imagine a population of organisms, and one of the genes in this population has 8 different alleles (varieties), so the total information for this gene within the population is log₂8=3.Now imagine that one of the newly born organisms possesses a mutation at this gene location that is different from the other 8 alleles, yielding a total of 9 alleles within the population, so the total information is now log₂9=3.12. Since 3.12>3, information in the population has increased.--Percy

From an earlier message: If you're talking about turning a reptile arm into a bird wing within a single generation, then this is not the theory of evolution. Change is gradual within evolution.From your last message: Again, I'm not sure if you're referring to sudden jumps of evolution, which evolution can't speak to since it isn't part of the theory, but if we can talk about gradual change then let's return to the example of the population of organisms, and the offspring that experienced a new mutation. The population might have been one of ancient reptiles that were forerunners to birds, and the offspring might have experienced the mutation in the gene of an arm (foreleg, I assume you mean).But applying the example to a specific situation is unnecessary to showing that mutation increases information. The math is self-evident.--Percy
