Some anti-evolution creationists claim that mutations can't generate new genetic information, but that idea falls apart fast. Mutations routinely add, delete, duplicate, and rearrange DNA. Entire genes can be duplicated and then tweaked into brand-new functions — it’s how snakes got venom, how humans got trichromatic vision, and how bacteria evolve resistance. Evolution doesn’t need magic; it just needs variation, selection, and time. Increases in genome length and sequence diversity have been directly observed in the lab.
