well, my essay about the creationist claim about no "new information" arising from mutations is due in about a week. i asked the following question on another thread a while a go, but no one answered, so i thought i would get people's attention with a flashy new thread, and hopefully get a response:

Quote:

i remember a thread on here about the "no new info" claim, and someone posted a link to a theologyweb thread dedicated to providing examples of "information"-adding mutations. i searched theologyweb, but i can't find that thread, and i think it would be very useful for my research. does anyone remember what i'm talking about? anyone have a link to the thread, or know the title, or something like that? thanks.

at least, i think it was theologyweb. thanks in advance.

I don't know about TWeb, but I would guess the link you are looking for is this

no, that's not the one, actually, but thanks anyways. it was definately a thread on a message board. people came up with examples of observed mutations which add information or function, usually presented in the form of the abstract of some journal article.

someone on this board referred me to that a long time ago, before i knew i was going to be writing an essay about the topic.

anyways, if anyone has a clue what i'm talking about, lemme know. thanks.
