:: Rather a late response, and pointless, given the merge, but I was primarily correcting the wording to what the reference was actually claiming. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 09:41, 11 February 2009 (EST)

:::Thank you, I had guessed that after reading through the reference a bit. Something I have to ask, the papers published by the ICR and such groups, are they available for scientific review? I would like to research their position about genetic information particularly in relation to increase of information. From what I know of molecular genetics and information molecules, the ability for information to be increased through mutation is possible and has been observed. I would like to research the claims of ICR and such as to why they believe these examples fail. If you could be of assistance with this I would greatly appreciate it.--[[User:Able806|Able806]] 10:33, 11 February 2009 (EST)

::::A good, information-increasing point mutation that comes to mind is the [https://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/extract/350/20/2096 LRP5 substitution], which "[enhances] skeletal mass without causing complications of osteopetrosis". Some users may be confused by the term "High-Bone-Mass Disease". If so, please see the medical definition of [http://www.mercksource.com/pp/us/cns/cns_hl_dorlands_split.jsp?pg=/ppdocs/us/common/dorlands/dorland/three/000030493.htm disease]. Some people are unwilling to open their minds to this being an instance of increased information. If that is the case, please proffer a definition of information in this context.

:Can you write some simple introductory material about the [[genome]], [[genome expression]], [[regulatory protein]]s, [[gene regulation]], and [[mutation]]? Nearly all of our readers need to know about the basics before they can learn about advanced topics such as [[point mutation]]. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 09:39, 4 February 2009 (EST)
