Nylon bug etc

Perhaps we should have a separate article on the nylon bug, or on evolution adding information to organisms. I have read that after the Japanese discovery of this nylon consumption mutation, a good half dozen other mutations of different kinds have been found to do the same thing in various places around the world. It is also interesting to document how AiG and other creationist organizations explain this. I was amazed to read one describe the endogenous retrovirus patterns in primate DNA as just something God decided to do, to make it look like humans and other primates had a common ancestor, but that did not mean they actually had a common ancestor, somewhat reminiscent of the omphalos conjecture being used to explain why the earth looks old; because God made it look old on purpose, even though it is young.

If you wanted to start an article on this, I would be glad to help.--Filll (talk) 15:14, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
