Genetic mutations are occasionally beneficial, activating new functions in living things. These kinds of changes do not support evolution but fit well with biblical creation.

In school we are taught that ‘Mutations + Natural Selection = Evolution’, but do genetic mutations really help evolution? Changes in DNA are supposed to provide the new functions that natural selection ‘chooses’ leading to the evolution of simply organisms into more complex ones. However, leading geneticists agree that mutations lead to extinction, not evolution into something better. This episode features portions of an interview with former evolutionary geneticist Dr John Sanford.

Seminar by Jerry Bergman Ph.D. Seattle Creation Conference, June 2013. Woodin Valley Baptist Church, Bothell WA. Description: Covers the fact that evolution is true but going the wrong way. The problem with evolution has never been the survival of the fittest, but the arrival of the fittest, and this is still the most serious problem today with Darwinism. The fact is, we are descending genetically as the scriptures teach, not ascending upward biologically, as evolution incorrectly teaches. A major theory of the source of phenotype variations for natural selection to select from is macro-mutations. The empirical evidence, however, is clear—neither

Each individual bacterium is oblong shaped. by Shaun Doyle Published: 7 July 2011(GMT+10) Subsequently published in Journal of Creation 25(3) Beneficial mutations are often seen as the engine of evolution (Mutations: evolution’s engine becomes evolution’s end!). However, beneficial mutations by themselves don’t solve the problem (see Beetle Bloopers). Mutations not only have to be beneficial, but they have to add biological information, i.e. specified complexity. However, practically all beneficial mutations observed have been losses of specified complexity (The evolution train’s a-comin’), with

15 Questions for Evolutionists — Question 3 – Genesis Unleashed Question 3 in CMI’s ’15 Questions for Evolutionists‘ flyer focuses on the inability of evolutionists to explain how the huge amount of complex coded information (the “blueprint”) to build living things could come about by mutation, a mechanism is observed to destroy and delete genetic information. In this episode Richard Fangrad and Calvin Smith discuss the question and the attempts to answer it..

Research in recent years by leading (evolutionist) geneticists has revealed catastrophically high mutation rates in humans. This would be a good thing if mutations really cause upward evolution. Instead the human race is plunging toward extinction. Based on data from genetics humans could not have been evolving for millions of years, we would already be extinct.

Evolution is statistically impossible in practicality. Macroevolution requires new information. The ultimate source of new information is mutations. Mutations simply cannot provide the source of genetic variation needed for selection. See Part 2 here: www.youtube.com Jerry Bergman has taught…
