| Do mutations add "new" information to the genome in a hereditary fashion? *new is defined as information that was not present inside the organism before the mutation. For example: AA + BB = BC? | ||

| Creation Ministries International | Never or extremely rare | Not impossible, but if it does occur, it is extremely rare and far to much so to be of any use to the Neo-Darwinian mechanism. CMI has stated that there are instances that deserve some credability. http://www.creationontheweb.com/nylon |
| CreationTalk | 100% - Never or Extremely Rare | 8 members of the CreationTalk creationist cummunity talk group have so far voted. |

| Source | Quote | Mutations as the driving force for evolution? |
| BOUNDARIES TO VARIATION, W. BRAUN, BACTERIAL GENETICS | "...that is the potential mutations of a given biotype are normally limited, else we should have been able to observe drastic evolutionary changes in laboratory studies with bacteria. Despite the rapid rate of propagation and the enormous size of attainable populations, changes within initially homogeneous bacterial populations apparently do not progress beyond certain boundaries under experimental conditions." | No |
| MUTATIONS IRREVELANT, STEPHEN J. GOULD, Harvard, Lecture at Hobart and William Smith College, 14/2/1980. | "A mutation doesn't produce major new raw material. You don't make a new species by mutating the species. ....That's a common idea people have; that evolution is due to random mutations. A mutation is NOT the cause of evolutionary change." | No |
| Lynn Margulis, as quoted by Charles Mann, “Lynn Margulis: Science’s Unruly Earth Mother,” Science, Vol. 252, 19 April 1991, p. 379. | "I have seen no evidence whatsoever that these [evolutionary] changes can occur through the accumulation of gradual mutations." | No |
| http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_evolution | Mutations are considered the driving force of evolution, where less favorable (or deleterious) mutations are removed from the gene pool by natural selection, while more favorable (or beneficial) ones tend to accumulate. Neutral mutations do not affect the organism's chances of survival in its natural environment and can accumulate over time, which might result in what is known as punctuated equilibrium; the modern interpretation of classic evolutionary theory. | Yes |
MATCH introductory article
What happened to the MATCH introductory article, it seems to have been moved?--Tylerdemerchant 02:01, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
- no I had started an introductory article a while back, but it seems to have disapeared. That is the article discussing the project-- MATCH: Mutations And The Creation Hypothesis
