The quote is about the source of information in evolution. If you disagree, take it up with Dembski. The question is whether evolutionary algorithms can solve problems, such as what changes will be beneficial.
What Dembski has conceded is that evolutionary algorithms can accumulate information.
To be completely honest, he is also suggesting that evolutionary searches are not efficient enough to account for complex structures in the available time, but that’s really something to be addressed by experiment.
But the fundamental question of where the information comes from is clearly stated by Dembski.

To be even more completely honest- he doubts that the whole of CSI IF it’s available in nature, can be transfered to species period.

no it isn’t- He has stated that he’s not sure- whether it’s from outer space, or from nature or from soemwhere else undertmined. He can beleive anyhtign he likes, but reasonability does not indicate complete CSI can be transfered to genetic information- comunicaiton does NOT add infromaiton to cells- at best it can only ‘give an advantage’ to a species to allow the species an advantage IF nature works like the ‘hot warmer clode colder’ game he refers to. This should be obvious, but I guess he’s determined to explore this silly notion that nature is able to transfer info to biological systems via comunicaiton.
