Apparently I don't ....even more suprisingly is apparently neither do you...or else you would be able to demonstrate the steps and how they add innformation to the genetic code.
I asked three questions so I could pinpoint the parts that you don't understand. Could you answer the questions, please, or just tell me what you don't get?
Did you watch the videos I presented?
No. Are the videos about what you don't understand about genetics? If not, how are they relevant?

Bacteria evolving the ability to metabolize citrate, along with the increase in cell size sounds like mutations 'adding up' to me.
ETA: Not that you'll actually care since you still say that I'm wrong and equate my accepting of evolutionary theory as being on a par with your religious beliefs.

Please stop with the bacteria. Bacteria can exchange genetic information simply by bumping against each other.
Show me how something like the echo location system of a dolphin can evolve. You know, what you consider as real evolutionism. I mean...if you can.

Perhaps you can explain why mutations have to "add up" in the first place.

This is about all of your post i read...and I had to ask, is this guy seriously asking this question?
Are you indicating that mutations don't have to add up in a fish's progeny to turn a fin into a leg...then a leg in to a flipper? Come on my evo-friend...you really must do better.

Okay, so let's say we have a centipede, and there is a mutation that creates sensory hairs on its body segments. Does this count as one mutation, or is it a separate mutation for each body segment the hairs appear on?

So, just like that they develop sensory hairs? That's the problem of the evo-minded. They over simply what they think could happen.
Please put away your crayons and coloring book.

Projection.


Quite some fancy question begging there, hoss.

Can you EXPLAIN the videos you posted?

If they were by Meyer or some other charlatan associated with the DI or ICR or AiG, then I probably will not ever watch it. I have read enough of their desperate deception to know that simply seeing it in video form will not make a difference.

Unless you watch them...and understand the process presented...you don't have the ability to comment.

Balls in your court.

Bacteria are biological organisms. So you saying that they don't count is you shifting the goalposts. How disingenuous of you.

Stop avoiding the issue and answer the question.

Unles you take the time to watch the video...I can't respond to you...go ahead, watch them. You'll actully find your self enjoying them.
Okay, I've watched them. The second one was quite good, especially if you watch it at 1.5x speed. The first one didn't say anything I didn't already know. Neither gave me a clue what step you don't understand when mutations add information to the genome, nor do I have any idea why you couldn't answer the question until I'd watched them.

Bacterie are like shifting the goal post on a baseball field.

Now, please close your coloring bokk and show how mutatons add up.

I'm glad you watched the video's.
Are you ready to explain how the code in the DNA evolved to produce "machines"...so to speak..that produce other machines that are used to accomplish a task? Did you fail to notice the sheer complexity?

How did the organelle evolve?

Did you fail to notice the question we were actually talking about? "The question still is, how the DNA code can change, increase its information via a process of random chance mutations." That's what you said, at any rate. Why are you so reluctant to talk about your own question?

You will never get an evo to answer this question.

Their problem is...trying to show it can actually work. Showing how the DNA code can change, increase its information via a process of random chance mutations.

I've been asking for literally decades on how mutations add up and have never received an answer.
I have come to the conclusion evolutionism is based squarely on faith.
I don't think they are mutations at all but I think what is seen as evolution is the work of the fallen angels who God put here first. Man has the ability to manipulate DNA and alter life forms just imagine what angels were capable of!

The question is much larger than you suggest....still, I'm waiting for an answer.

I asked "The question still is, how the DNA code can change, increase its information via a process of random chance mutations."
Well, you watched the video...how did a random process increase the information contained in the DNA code to produce such sophisticated and complex information????????

In a sense what you're saying is true...since the creation of Adam and Eve...and as a result of their fall mankinds (and othe animal kingdom) DNA is actually losing information.

And yet you've never once shown any evidence of this claim being true.
