DHW Tony has asked David the same question as my own: why can’t a new organ/organism contain and pass on information that did not exist before? And I have repeatedly asked for a definition of “information” – request repeatedly ignored. The only answer we get is: “I believe all the necessary info for life and evolution was present from the beginning. The loss of information from mutations means everything needed was present at the first cell.” But David, you also believe your God dabbled. Is it not possible that he added “information” to whatever he dabbled with? If only you would define "information", your argument might become clearer.

Tony: Actually, David and I both agree, I think, that an organism cannot pass on information it doesn't already contain. That concept is pretty fundamental to modern biology. Also, I did give a very clear and detailed accounting of information in another post on this thread.

I fully agree.
