Creationists reject this claim (of mutations producing new genetic information), on the grounds that, firstly, it is contrary to the Biblical account and secondly, has not been observed in science.

In the example above of plans for a dam, the engineer started off with plans that had been designed by someone, and although some of the measurements were altered, nothing new was introduced.

For example, if the original plans did not include a bypass tunnel, no amount of altering measurements on the plan would produce one.
