I'm guessing that most of you have seen that youtube video of Dawkins stumped on a creationist question (which was later explained to be BS, but that's besides the point). The question was (paraphrasing) "Can you give an example of a mutation or evolutionary process shown to increase the information in the human genome?" I also read some quotes from an evolutionary scientist, Pierre-Paul Grasse, who said that there is no proof of mutations being beneficial and therefore evolution couldn't work through mutations. This is also supported by (ugh, I hate this guy) Michael Behe, who says in his new book that beneficiary mutations are too rare (or even non-existent) for evolution to work through them. With that said I haven't been able to find a whole lot of information or evidence on this except for creationist propaganda, which only consists of them repeating the same thing with nothing to back it up. Does anyone know where there is some concrete evidence or information from someone credible like Dawkins? |
