Question from a YEC: What explains sedimentary rock other than a worldwide flood?

Actually, Dr. Leisola discusses neutral drift and the neutral drift theory of evolution and gives compelling reasons why it’s new information doesn’t support the evolution of new species. These information changes have limited boundaries (“nothing fundamentally novel has been created”) to what they can accomplish as he cogently argues.

Facts don’t care about your feelings. Check this out.

One point mutation in the ancient gene ARHGAP11A may have been enough to cause the neocortex of the human brain to start expanding.

Primates possess only the ancient gene, while humans possess ARHGAP11B, which substitutes a C for a G at a single point, thereby triggering the production of a larger neocortex. Interestingly, a 2015 article on the subject says Neanderthal and Denisovan possess both genes (paralogs). How did that happen?

Addendum: This 2020 Science mag article that experimentally verified the hypothesis generated controversy for implanting a human gene into marmoset embryos, then ethically destroying them at 100 days.
