Re: So what IS the answer to the question that "stumped" Daw
This might be dumb question but is it possible for the mutation of nylon eating capability of bacteria to be non-information adding? I suppose I'm thinking of deletion mutations but question then is can a deletion mutation increase the information (totally random guess; yes)? I know that probably some will think "duh" but I'm a computer sciences major, not a biologist.
he_who_is_nobody said:Mithcoriel said:Okay, I understand what you are saying. The thing is that so far all the answers given, although being different, have been correct. The question asked is so simple that there are multiple correct answers for it. Nylon-eating bacteria is my favorite answer for creationists in general because it anwsers a lot of there questions.
