Why Natural Selection Can NOT Put Functional Information Into the Genome

-
This is in response to the tripe posted on The Septic Zone- Natural selection can put Functional Information into the genome-

First, natural selection is a result and becomes no more than a statistical artifact. Secondly biological fitness pertains to reproductive success which is an after-the-fact assessment. Third there is behaviour, something that can be changed much quicker to aid survival and adds nothing to the genome.

Joe F sez:

The essence of the notion of Functional Information, or Specified Information, is that it measures how far out on some scale the genotypes have gone.

Unfortunately Joe F never provides a reference for that bit of tripe. I have never read any IDist say anything like that. Methinks Joe F made it up

The relevant measure is fitness.

Umm biological fitness is nonsense Joe F- it is an after-the-fact assessment.

But anyway as I explained to Joe F CSI pertains to origins. Unfortunately Joe F refused to grasp that fact.

Also natural selection has never been observed to do anything. So that would be another problem.
