"...It turns out that the [neo-Darwinian] theory cannot account for the way information would have had to build up to make evolution work..."

"...Among all the mutations that have been studied, there aren’t any known, clear, examples of a mutation that has added information..."

"Although...a mutation can have selective value, it decreases rather than increases the genetic information..."

"All point mutations that have been studied on the molecular level turn out to reduce the genetic information and not to increase it..."

"Information cannot be built up by mutations that lose it. A business can’t make money by losing it a little at a time..."

"Trying to build information by transferring segments of DNA from species to species is like trying to build an economy by having everyone take in each other’s laundry...For an economy to grow, wealth must be created.  For information to build up in living organisms, it must be created somewhere..."

"There is no known physical or chemical mechanism to generate heritable variations that will improve adaptivity or increase the complexity of living organisms."
