Well, my response is both a blow at evolution and evidence for Intelligent Design. Go back to Shannon's theory of information. Information is not self-creating. There is no mechanism that exists to create something out of nothing. The original DNA of creatures did not know in advance what it was going to be. Information does not create itself, it must be created.

And if you know anythign about DNA, DNA does not exist to evolve into new life forms, it exists to prevent the current life form from changing and to preserve its form. Variations do not prove inter-species evolution.

I am having a hard time grasping how Shannon's Information Theory is a blow to evolution. As far as I know, the ToE doesn't claim that allele changes (what I assume you would consider to be new information created from nothing) are self-created. Further, the ToE does not in the least depend on a single variation in genetic structure as proof of inter-species evolution.

I also see no correlation between any of this and positive evidence for ID.

I may be missing your point, of course, in which case I welcome any honest efforts to enlighten me.
