Mutation Questions & Answers

What is the relationship of extinction to natural selection?

Natural Selection Is Not 'Nature's Intelligence

In a world where science has degenerated into shouting slogans, we hear all types of claims, many of them false.  Natural Selection claims to include the capability for creatures to generate various traits that improve their ability to survive.  The problem is that there is no way to generate new traits by natural means.  Evolutionists claim natural selection produced the ability to generate traits by working on nature's ability to naturally create complexity and order.  Well, for any Evolution to ever take place, nature would certainly need such an ability but science tells us that nature has no such ability.

How has mutation had an impact on breed development?

Mutation or duplication will not add any new innovative genetic information of the type needed for even the smallest advance in so-called molecules-to-man evolution to anything.  (Read the latest science on the subject: Without Excuse by Werner Gitt, a description of the scientific Laws of Universal Information. See also: Information Theory Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4. Here is another interesting article.) More is constantly being learned about information and about the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Evolutionists tend to hide in the weeds of the unknown with an argument from ignorance: "If you can't prove, by empirical science, that evolution is impossible, then it happened." By empirical science alone, we can only prove probabilities. The probabilities show the Big-Bang-Billions-of-Years-No-Flood-Molecules-to-Man story to be a bazaar hypothesis, a story that is so improbable that it should not be considered. However, empirical science is not a tool that can prove anything to be true or false absolutely. For absolute proof, we have revelation. (See Basic and Concise Guide to Practical, Useful Logic and Reasoning). God says that He created everything. He is the One Who enforces the laws of nature. He is the One Who will judge all of us in the end. We know that because we know Him presonally through the indwelling Presence of Jesus Christ and the moment-by-moment instruction of the Holy Spirit.

A lot of tax money has been used to try to prove mutation's supposed ability to add information, but what has been proved is that no information can be added to anything by natural processes.  It is a law of science that information only comes from information.  Mutations are almost always near neutral.  They are usually harmful.  They always have a detrimental effect on information in the genome.  This is the Second Law of Thermodynamics in action.

Using an analogy of a train, Evolution hopes to go from Missouri in Central U.S. to California.  However, the train is going the wrong direction toward New York, with each small change being the result of a loss of information or simply a rearrangement of what is already there.  The evolution train’s a-comin’

The Evolutionists will tell you a half truth about the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The Evolutionists will tell the half truth: "The Second Law of Thermodynamics only applies to isolated systems, so it's not relevant to evolution, because the Earth is an open system." This is a clever lie. Here is the part of the truth that they are withholding: the Second Law of Thermodynamics was derived using theoretical isolated systems, but it applies to all systems, and can only be overcome locally and temporarily in open systems when stringent conditions are met. Not only that, but we are not talking about the Earth. The Earth is just a subsystem of a much larger system called the Universe. The Universe is an isolated system. Evolutionists claim that Evolution took place in this isolated system, but the Second Law of Thermodynamics tells us that their story is a myth.

What species has had a negative result due to mutation?

The Blind Gunman "... demonstrate the poverty of evolutionary theory to explain the facts in one well-researched area of biology--that is, the area of human genetics. It will show how the facts unearthed by this research show mutations to be, not a "blind watchmaker," but more truthfully analogous to a "blind gunman."

Literally thousands of human diseases associated with genetic mutations have been catalogued in recent years, with more being described continually. "

Humans are one example. It would seem that every species has had a negative result due to mutation. Every birth defect is an example. A great number of diseases and disorders in all of life are the result of negative effects of mutations--some from mutations to bacteria. When God created the universe, everything was very good. Now, there is death, misery, and sin due to the fall and all that has taken place since the time of the fall.

Depending on which definition you use, Natural Selection can be real.  It works to eliminate severe mutations.  A more scientifically accurate term would be "natural elimination."   Natural Selection can mean different things depending on the context in which it is used, though.  Some of those contexts actually try to transform Natural Selection into molecules-to-man Evolution.  They also try to confuse people into believing that small adaptations (calling this micro-evolution, which is a deceiving term.) add up to molecules-to-man Evolution.  At other times, Natural Selection is written about as if it were an intelligent all-powerful god that thinks things through and does them.  But Natural Selection as a description of the way that severe mutations result in the death of the mutated life form is real.  It can't add information and it appears that mutation never adds any information either.  At least, no one has ever been able to observe information being added despite many tax dollars trying to do so.  Most mutations aren't detrimental enough, however, for Natural Selection to operate.  Small mutations can build up in a population over time and cause extinction.  It is illegitimate to use Natural Selection to support Evolution.  Natural Selection supports a young Earth and a Creator. Evolution has a very real information problem.

"Read John Sanford's book Genetic Entropy and the Mystery of the Genome and wonder how intelligent people could ever bring themselves to believe that mutations would create progress in fitness, and continue to believe natural selection built all the wonders of life, decades after it was demonstrated by evolution-believing secular population geneticists to be unworkable."(Source: CREV - read more)
