Thinking through claims that mutations make new information. (CT Scan, Episode 82)
Often, claims that mutations produce useful new genetic information involve one of four processes: 1) duplication of information, 2) loss of control over how information is used, 3) degeneration of information, and 4) transfer of information. In each case, you can ask, “Does this involve something happening to information that already existed? And if this happened repeatedly, would it produce life as we know it?” (Hint: YES and NO.)
