How Evolution Causes an Increase in Information, Part I

Here I show how evolution via natural selection will increase information stored in DNA. In short, mutations are random events occurring in the genome. If a mutation occurs that is beneficial, it will be selected for (remember, selection is NOT random). Since selection is a product of the environment, that mutation stores information about the environment. For example, in an environment with malaria, having normal hemoglobin is a bad thing, you are susceptible to the disease. But if you have a mutation in hemoglobin, you have an increased resistance. This mutation therefore gives us information about the environment, it contains the pathogen malaria. In the video I show other examples as well. We also know that genes can duplicate. This increases the raw material on which mutations can act. Clearly increasing information. Finally, I present the scientific evidence that one of the genes responsible for nylon digestion came about via a frame shift mutation in a previously existing gene. Frame shifts alter the reading frame and therefore result in an entirely new protein. This is an example of an entire protein appearing at once. Clearly an increase in information. That enzyme however does not have great activity (though it is enough for the bacteria to survive on nylon alone). It takes two more point mutations to increase the activity 200-fold. So when a creationist asks, are there examples of mutations that increase information, the answer is simple. ALL mutations that are selected for add information to the genome. Here's an interesting quote from another peer reviewed scientific paper where they simulate organisms to evaluate if information will increase or not in their genomes: " In particular, we show that, in fixed environments, for organisms whose fitness depends only on their own sequence information, physical complexity must always increase."

This videos argument is so weak it is embarassing. Wow, HIV, and Sickle Cell... Good examples, how beneficial they truely are. The bacterial in DNA causing mutation firt of all is EXtremely rare, and NEVER has empirically show INCREASE of Information... Just DEGRATION! Another unhappy, Darwinian primate. At least this guy wishes he was a Darwinian Primate.

"Read a middle school textbook" by a scientist? they may have faked it like lucy? darwin= racist/ sexist. he also refuted all on his deathbed. scientists try to destroy the morals of the bible by things like evolution. by disproved a truth... to what end my friend consider your brothers and sisters on earth and turn away from sin!

his answer is unrelated. dawkins is a set up payed for envoy. mostly by the worlds most powerful like bill gates. a challenge to them also. "everybody already has an ID or passport." read about the mark of the beast in revelation. see the beast on the euro and outside the eu parliment.

"evolution theory=hitler." Of course, if you forget he wrote Mein Kampf, and forget the Nazi slogan "Got mitt uns" and Nazi propaganda. "where richard dorkins could offer no proof of these things you state as true." And if Richard Dawkins doesn't know something, nobody can know it! (=sarcasm) Also, right after that video ends, he gives an answer. "if the heathens of europe" Over half of Europe still is Christian. Also, everybody already has an ID or passport.

attached to evolution (or any science). And even if Darwin had established his theory on racist ideas, or published it for racist reasons, it STILL doesn't matter because it is TRUE. Only if the caucasian race had an advantage in reproduction over the negroid race, would it become more prominent, and nothing more than that. Evolution simply states that if there are causes for a gene to exist more, it will exist more.

are better adapted to the environment will become larger than other races. The difference with common evolution is that race theory explains the splicing of species (one turning into two) and the speed at which species can come from others. Social darwinism (which is a philosophy, not science, and only upheld by a few) is about calling evolution "good", and calling the race you're part of "the most fit". Evolution isn't good, it is just true. It isn't racist because there is no moral value...

"social_evolution(Darwins Race Theory)." Go and study history. Darwin's race theory was about races. Oh, wait, you don't know what a race is. You're just falling for the same trap you're trying to set. Let me educate you in basic group biology, as it has been known since before darwin. A race is a group within a species, with traits shared among all members of one group, and among none of another group. The race theory deals with the theory (= factual model) that races whose distinct traits...

could you provide a precise reference for your claim- bearing in mind that in darwin's time "race" was synonymous with "species" you could always exercise the choice to shut the fuck up and grow some morals- you lying piece of shite

You are using evolution because you want to gain more power and more money trough spreading or marking social_evolution(Darwins Race Theory). Go and study history. Materialism is consequence of believing in Social evolution. Darwin also embraced an interesting thought. He asserted that some races were more evolved(white man) and, therefore more advanced than others, whilst other races, on the other hand, he considered still to be at the same level as the apes(H).

why don't you wait until you're sober before posting?
