I've got to dispute this statement. Can variation and natural
selection add or create new information? I think so. And I've
yet to see a reliable and consistent metric of information
proposed by the people who make the claim made above. We've
been around this topic before and I don't recall anyone who
adequately defended that position. This his also been
brought up in talk.origins and bionet.info-theory: Again,
with no coherent description by these supporters.
What do these people mean by new genetic information:
Additional sequences? Altered reactions catalyzed by the
encoded enzymes? New functionality? Upon what are they
basing this position?
