Can mutation create information?

[Rich Hammett]

This is a subtle argument, but it's worth reading through if you
understand information theory at all. It's bunk, but it's not as
obvious as it first appears to all of us who already know that
creationism is bunk. Would anybody be interested in learning more
about these sorts of creationist arguments? This could be very
helpful in understanding evolution and also some of the cutting-edge
research in physics (cosmology AND particle physics).

Gary Taubes just posted a response to the red meat study that made the news a few days ago.    He points out that these epidemiological studies are a lot like bible codes (my analogy)--you will always find what you're looking for.
