It requires that information be ADDED to the genetics of an animal that turns them from reptile to reptile plus a little bird, plus a little more bird, plus a little more bird until they are a bird. I understand what evolution is saying here. Whether or not dinosaurs were ectotherms or endotherms is also highly debated, adding another kink in some of the less disputed examples of evolution. Having genetic proof of an ape becoming more human until he becomes a human is missing.

Aw man, that information thingy again. Mutations ARE new information. They may not always be beneficial but sometimes they are and in the this case it is very likely that they are passed on to the next generation. So over time these beneficial mutations accumulate and you end up with a population that can be quite different from it's ancestor population.
And what do you mean by a 'reptile plus a little bird'? Would a dinosaur with feathers qualify? (I think Vade has a nice pic of that somewhere)

Define genetic information.
Then define how it is added and then subtracted.
I'd bet very few ID people have ever done so in a meaningful and scientific way. We're getting back to that territory where one has to ask, Define the Theory of Intelligent Design? And then wait indefinitely for an answer that invariably never comes.
