One assertion I keep coming across against evolution is that whilst variations do arise this is really just "shuffling the pack": no NEW information arises.
What puzzles me is exactly what is meant by "new information"?. Does not "new information" mean:
1. Different information
2. Before time T wasn't there and now is
DIFFERENCE
You and I are a bit like, but different to, our parents. We are a bit like, but different to all other human beings. Every human being has a unique sequence of DNA. Given that this AT LEAST defines "you" as opposed to "me" the information is different.
TIME T
Your DNA was fixed at conception. Before then the different information that defines "you" did not exist.
So what does
1. "no new information", in the context of refuting evolution, mean?
2. How is that law scientifically established?
3. How could it, in principle, be falsified? ("in principle"- if its true it wont be of course)
