You "believe" incorrectly.
Supposed increases in complexity via RMNS, are actually horizontal evolution, rather than vertical.
Why, because you stamp your feet and insist that's true? It's not. And if you made the mistake of falling for Spetner's twaddle, he's a crank and he's wrong. Hell, even if he had been *right* his conclusion was rashly made on the basis of only *two* examples of *one* type of acquired resistance to antibiotics, and he would have been *insane* to generalize to *ALL* mutational adaptations based on just *two* (2) examples. But he did! And the creationists are just as nuts for swallowing that kind of idiocy whole (because they *want* to believe it), despite the fact that they'd rightly reject out of hand any *pro*evolution "study" if it was based on something that transparently bogus. Of course, at the same time, they hypocritically refuse to accept *any* research finding, no matter *how* well established and cross-validated, if it supports evolution (as every well-conducted study in the past 100+ years has done..)
Do you guys even believe the silly stuff that comes out of your own mouths?
If there was substantial evidence of increases in complexity - as the evidence requires for RMNS to be a viable explanation for life as we see it today - then I would consider Darwinian Evolution as a vehicle for life to become more sophisticated.
Then I'm happy to oblige:

Fortunately there is no evidence in the record,
You know, if you had spent as much time actually reading science journals as you do desperately searching creatonist blogs looking for something to reinforce what you'd like to believe, you'd have qualified for an advanced degree by now.
I will refer you to a credentialed scientist who did the science.
BWAHAHAHA!!!
Consider that one stolen! The classic portrait of a creationist researcher.
