There is ZERO DOUBT that that change/mutation can be passed on to its offspring.
That is what evolution means.

That is being intellectually dis-honest, None of your statements prove that mutations (loss of information) lead to evolutionary progression to a high more advantageous life-form.
I don’t have to prove anything.
All it takes is a belief that one in a thousand (or one in a million or one in a billion just pick a number) mutations give a survival advantage to the organism.
Remember something:
Darwins ideas have to do with survival of the fittest, not evolution as we see it today. Darwins ideas were proposed in the late 1800’s, almost a hundred years before DNA was even discovered.
It is kind of in hindsight that we see how DNA might relate to species variation.
And as I implied in my original post, evolution CAN explain differences between species and even differences between members of the same species.
But what evolution CANNOT explain is how it all got started.
Why do you assume all mutations are loss of information? Mutation means different information.
Evolution has fewer special exceptions than plate tectonics and plate tectonics is currently the generally accepted theory of geology. While many are willing to admit that origins of life is a whopper of an exception, it is the only major one. One of my complaints is that too many on both sides of the crevo wars refuse to accept that "I don't know" or insufficient evidence, is the best answer you can get to some questions (like Is this grad students speculation about the origins of life correct?)
