Darwinists grasping at straws looking for a method for the creation of new genetic information.
Molecular evolution is an assertion which has never been demonstrated experimentally and no process has been proposed which survives the scrutiny of experiment or calculation.
They had long hoped that mutation would be a "source" of new genetic information.
Experiments mutating thousands of successive generations of fruit fly DNA over the course of a century never yielded offspring superior to their ancestors.
DNA is an extraordinarily complex and unstable molecule.
Not even the proteins can form randomly, as proteins break down into amino acids, not vice versa.
DNA accumulates errors every time it is copied and all organisms have cellular machinery which detects and repairs these errors.
Which came first? The DNA or the necessary repair mechanism which is built using instructions from the DNA?
Has it ever occured to them that DNA might have been superior in past organisms and has been degrading over time?
This would be consistent with information entropy, the second law of thermodynamics, and observation of cells within organisms living today.
DNA degrades in living organisms, but somehow we're supposed to believe that this process is magically reversed when reproduction occurs.
Yeah, I know, the weak ones don't reproduce as much, but that still doesn't address where the information comes from nor does it refute the fact that DNA still degrades in the ones which do reproduce.
This is just a search for a mechanism by which evolution might create genetic information.
That being said, the research is still pretty cool.
