[QUOTE="Loudmouth, post: 69447239, member: 11790"] Too bad they don't overtly define the term "information". However, this seems like a good working definition: "What do a human, a rose, and a bacterium have in common? Each of these things — along with every other organism on Earth — contains the molecular instructions for life, called [B]deoxyribonucleic acid[/B] or [B]DNA[/B]. Encoded within this DNA are the directions for traits as diverse as the color of a person's eyes, the scent of a rose, and the way in which bacteria infect a lung cell." Information, as they seem to define it, is the DNA sequence giving rise to phenotypes, be it physical traits or even as simple as RNA transcripts. Can you get new phenotypes through mutation and natural selection? Yep, you sure can. So by the definition given here, it would seem quite simple for evolution to produce new information. [/QUOTE]
