[QUOTE="FishFace, post: 44638512, member: 175009"] To end the proof you should state that this is a contradiction. - Which it is. I have used this argument in the past, but creationists don't seem to get it. Nonetheless it is sound - the premises are correct, the conclusion states that I(G) > I(G) where I is some information counting function, but the output of that function can only be a number, and for any number, "a > a" is false. Thus the argument is valid and sound, providing a [I]reductio ad absurdum[/I] disproof of the claim, "mutations can never increase information." [/QUOTE]
