HUH???

How is that evolution? this must be a different phenomenon, completely separate from evolution.

>>How is that evolution?

It is political correctness applied to evolution.

How is that evolution?

It's adaptation.

[Spudx7]

It's the best description there is. ALL genetic mutations in species involve a loss of information. Never has there ever been a mutation that included the addition of genetic information-never. Yet, the addition of information over time leading to new species is a main assumption of Darwinian evolution.

In other words—the theory of evolution is completely false.

It’s called devolution. Liberals, for instance, devolved from conservatives.

"How is that evolution? this must be a different phenomenon, completely separate from evolution."

Not sure if I believe in Evolution, but I definitely believe in Devolution. Which are of necessity different processes. Devolution (simplifications--> the loss of information, or the loss of expression of information) is not evidence for Evolution.

The blind cave fish, or Eeohippus' losing its toes, say nothing (or at least very little) about evolution.
