I'm not sure which scientists you are referring to...One form of mutation is duplication, in which DNA sequence is duplicated - in some cases duplicating an entire gene or multiple genes. At this point many argue that nothing new has been created, instead there are just two identical (redundant) copies of a duplicated gene.However, subsequent mutation acts on the two copies of the genes independently, and so they change, diverging from each other over time. This divergence can produce two genes with different functions from what was originally a single gene. In this way, genetic "information" is added...Hopefully that makes sense; does it help answer your question?

Name one. Seriously - it should be easy to do since "most" do it.Natural selection is NOT a form of mutation, so there is no way to confuse it with "true mutation".Mutation occurs. The result can be neutral, bad, or good, depending on the mutation and the environment.Natural selection is the step that weeds out the bad and keeps the good, to put it simply. Natural selection is a process that comes after mutation.

Hey Mike,This statement isn't too far off from JAD's Prescribed Evolution Hypothesis. JAD's view is that "naturally" occurring mutation can account for some variance, but that major genetic (chromosome-level) changes were "supernaturally" preprogrammed into DNA to permit major species-level changes.
