However, even if he doesn't, the materialists still must prove that natural processes are capable of information creation, which they have not even attempted to do.

Perhaps because they assumed that it was sufficiently basic as to be "obvious". The earth is an open system; you can tap any entropy gradient to do "information creation". The local decrease in entropy will ALWAYS be less than the total increase in entropy of the system. Thermodynamics 101.

Obvious? Then why isn't there even a theoretical model for informational generation in biological systems?

Your summary of thermodynamics was very laughable. Why not give me an instance of this information creation. I'll be waiting, but I won't hold my breath.
