It seems to me for evolution to occur, DNA's copying mistakes (mutations) must add new information that natural selection can capitalize on. But if in fact these copying mistakes represent a degradation of existing information — i.e., they are "noise" in the communication channel that is deleterious to successful communication of DNA's "message" — then how do they contribute to species fitness?
Since DNA most often "corrects" for these copying mistakes by wiping out the organism in which they occur — then why are we speaking of this process as if it were "evolutionary?" An organism that is wiped out because of copying errors is one that will never breed and have progeny. Assuming it manages to survive for a time nevertheless, so to breed and transmit this degraded information to its offspring, then how can this be thought of as any kind of fitness improvement in the species? This looks to me more like devolution than evolution....
FWIW.
There ya go agin.
trying to be logical with the irrational.
LOL.
