[QUOTE="TeddyKGB, post: 44631577, member: 118145"] [SIZE=1]Taken largely intact from a clever IIDB member.[/SIZE] The claim: No genetic mutation may increase information. 1. Point mutations are reversible. 2. Suppose a point mutation in gene G at nucleotide N changes a T to an A. Per the claim, this represents a decrease in information. 3. Suppose a point mutation at N changes the A back to a T. Per the claim, this also represents a decrease in information. 4. It follows from premises 3 & 4 that two chemically identical configurations of G have distinct information contents. It seems almost too neat. [/QUOTE]
