What is a mutation? A mutation is a random defect in the information system of the cell of a living being. More specifically, a mutation is an alteration of the nucleic acid sequence of the genome of an organism. A genome is all the genetic information of an organism or cell. The sequences of information are found in complex strands of DNA or RNA. A mistake in the sequence of information results in a mutation. For those who posit Evolution as the only viable explanation for the existence of life on earth as we know it, mutations are the sole engine of beneficial change. Their hypothesis is exceedingly flawed for the following reasons.

(1) Random changes in an information system are almostly universally harmful, not beneficial. Cancer cells are an example of a breakdown in the transmission of information. There are no helpful cancer cells.

(2) Mutations do not impart new information. They only damage the information that is already there. Mutations cannot impart new information so that an eye can become an ear or hair can morph into a nose or a salamander can become a frog. Nothing approaching any of these has ever been witnessed in a laboratory.

(3) Evolution cannot explain how the information in the DNA and RNA chromosomes came about in the first place. These are exceedingly complicated instructions. They could not possibly have originated on their own. Someone had to code RNA and DNA instructions into the nucleus.

(4) Evolutionists do not live in the make-believe world they create for origins. They do not live by random chance. They carefully plan out every detail of their own lives, from the clothes they put on in the morning to the food they eat during the day to the care they take for their own education. They leave nothing to chance. In other words, they live a hypocritical lifestyle. There is a huge bifurcation between what they believe about origins and the way they live their own lives.
