There are many examples put forward by evolutionists that attempt to show how new genes have been introduced to the genome of an organism. However the "new" information that is contained in the organism almost always comes from pre-existing genes and it is often unknown what process is actually responsible for the creation of this "new" gene. | There are many examples put forward by evolutionists that attempt to show how new genes have been introduced to the genome of an organism.

Despite the few examples of genetic mutations that increase the information in the genome, it is unrealistic to assume that this information would assemble in the first place because there would be no genetic information for mutations to act | Despite the few examples of genetic mutations that increase the information in the genome, it is unrealistic to assume that this information would assemble in the first place because there would be no genetic information for mutations to act upon. New beneficial types of structures and functions not already resident in the gene pool of the species are highly unlikely through the process of mutation. This is to say that mutations are not a reasonable means of producing cascading morphological change and to suggest that the evidence would support the neodarwinian mechanism is unfounded. | ||
