True, but mutations can result in many different events: deletion, insertion, substitution, etc.
Mutations are the product of the forces acting on their "parents".
Each mutation is a testimony of how nature operates within the scope of the forces that literally shape it.
Whether a deletion, an insertion, or a substitution, the one thing in common is that the output matches the input.
The question is, how can any of these events turn a lizard into a bird??
Every lizard's DNA has a bird waiting to get out.
All it takes is a little "prompting" from nature, and voila! a beautiful peacock strutting her stuff, or a robin building her nest, or a parrot with the ability to imitate human sounds with great accuracy.
I believe it's called:
the beauty of nature.
Yes, but the forces of nature are changing what is coded in the DNA to differnent amino acid codes, or even worse, deletions and insertions, etc. All very bad for the protein being coded for!
Again, I don't see why you're calling this 'worse'.
Yes, it's tragic when someone's DNA 'goes bad' and they get cancer or something.
I hate to see that, but at the same time, you have to realize that mother nature does not play favorites and is, indeed, neutral.
But it is not "new" information if it is old information changed a little.
It is "new" in the sense that it is an incipient in a new surrounding.
Every new-born child is new to its environment, is it not?
Where does the New information come from that turned an ape into a human?
From space (radiation), from earth (carbons and hydrates and nitrogens and oxygens), and from other sources that combine to apply just enough "pressure" (force) on a DNA molecule that, when it replicates, the "child" is different from the "parent".
