"And if selection merely preserves the pre-existing information, then what do either of these processes have to do with Darwinian evolution, which needs brand new advantageous information to select?"

Obviously, these processes support Darwinian evolution. They merely reflect its sophistication. Surely, the pre-existing information is not preserved intact every time fertilization occurs, and certainly mutations will occur providing brand new advantageous information from time to time.

"What this science shows is exactly what one would expect if creatures were engineered by a Creator, rather than being evolutionary products of the natural universe."

What this science shows is exactly what one would expect when creatures are engineered by a Creator, Who employs the natural universe as a means of implementing His will.

The theories of evolution are mankind's best attempt so far to comprehend the way God has chosen to create His creatures.

He has chosen to water the land by causing the sun to raise water from the oceans and the wind to blow it over the land and to cause it to precipitate as it passes over the land. To suggest that this method somehow contradicts the fact that God has caused it to be is downright silly.

The more we struggle to understand just how He has chosen to create the world--moment by moment, as it is destroyed and re-created (Shiva-Vishnu-Brahma)--the more we are forced to stand in awe of His majesty and His methods of creation.

But when the pre-existing information suffers a mutation significant enough for natural selection to act upon, it is virtually always harmful. Indeed, we are finding very powerful reasons why this is so. For instance, science has learned that genes have multiple functions. As such, genes are polyconstrained, and even if a mutation could hypothetically benefit one function, it will almost certainly prove harmful to the gene’s other functions. Needless to say, this discovery is very powerful evidence against the idea that RM + NS can add benificial information to already super-sophisticated biological organisms.

If this, “The more we struggle to understand just how He has chosen to create the world—moment by moment, as it is destroyed and re-created (Shiva-Vishnu-Brahma)—the more we are forced to stand in awe of His majesty and His methods of creation.” be true, how would evolution be any sort of acceptable explanation?
