The main business of the genome is encoding the information to create hundreds of thousands of enzymes and proteins that form the superstructure of the organism.

And each different genus of life has quite a few totally different genes producing totally different enzymes from even the closest known genus. Yet no one has even been able to show how a single new gene could have been formed to create these new faculties, traits, abilities. And no, selection cannot be the answer because a non-functional new gene cannot give any selective advantage, it can only give a selective disadvantage.
