Debunking Evolution Clip: Gibberish Can't Create Anything

I've been reading through a textbook and they keep giving great examples of how creatures change like Darwin's finches or these tortoises.

But this isn't evolution by natural forces if these animals were programmed to adapt like that.

I see what you're saying. Many evolutionists consider any change as evolution, which makes it seem like we're always evolving upward.

But not all changes come from accidental errors through mutation. Some pre -programmed variation helps animals adapt through genetic recombining.

Now look at this.

Our book lists the sources of genetic variation. This page lists the two main sources of change as mutation and genetic recombination.

So mutations would be accidents, errors? Right. Mutations are usually caused when there's an error copying a creature's genetic information, which is found in its

DNA. It can lose, duplicate, or even copy letters in the genetic code.

But if I delete, scramble, or duplicate letters, won't I eventually get a new word?

Sure. But a new word doesn't necessarily mean anything. So if I scramble the letters in puppy, it just means gibberish?

Exactly. Mutations might be able to create a new combination of letters, but it needs to have a meaning for the cell to use as a blueprint later on.

In other words, a code isn't really a code without some assigned meaning. Gibberish can't create anything.
