Re: Mutation
If that is truly the case, then maybe you could tell us what makes you think that evolution needs to show an increase of information.
​
If what random mutation, natural selection, genetic drift etc, are doing isn't considered "increasing information", then obviously this increase isn't needed by evolution.

Wait just a minute in post 19 you say this:
​
Just because you have a new function in phenotype, doesn't necassarily mean you have to have an increase of new info in the genotype
​
Yet in post 20 you say this:
​
In order for evolution to work (reptile arm to bird wing) you need the info from the bird wing to be introduced to the reptile arm
​
Now I might not have a degree in bio but these BOTH seem to me like phenotypic changes, one of which you claim doesn't need an increase in info and one of which you claim does.
