Re: Try Again (Eduardo)

you may have missed this part of my post...understandable considering your jaundiced eye :-)

birds (and insects) that were once winged or able to fly and no longer can, may in fact derive some benefit from that LOSS of information...

[and this one]

bird beaks, head shape, coloration, etc may provide some benefit depending on environmental and other conditions...but they are still only the result of recombination and/or loss of already extant info

[and this one]

once sighted fish that have lost their sight and even their eyes may derive some "benefit" from such loss (ie bumping into rocks etc and damaging useless eyes that may then become infected, etc)...but it is still a loss and not a gain of information

i could have given many more examples like: lizard legs, far more radical phenotypical changes in fish (in two years or less :-), sickle cell anemia, etc

but any "benefit" resulting from a LOSS of information cannot lend any real assistance to the darwinian paradigm...you still lack any mechanism that can provide an overall INCREASE or GAIN of highly specific complex information without which you can never hope to explain multiphyletic evolution from a single progenitor organism :-)

but you welcome to try again :-)
