Mutation: Difference between revisions

Evolutionists contend that mutation, acted upon by [[natural selection]], is the mechanism for evolutionary advancement. However, although they have proposed many examples, they remain unable to provide even one single observed example of a genetic mutation that increases the information in the genome, producing new beneficial types of structures and functions not already resident in the ancestral gene pool of the species.

Obviously mutations can indeed cause dramatic changes. Many experiments have been performed on fruit flies (Drosophila) where poisons and radiation induced mutations. However, the problem is that they are always deleterious. The Drosophila experiments showed an extra pair of wings on a fly, but these were a hindrance to flying because there are no accompanying muscles. Therefore, these flies would be eliminated by natural selection.
