[quote]This Darwinism mechanism has never been shown to be capable of creating new genetic information or new complex body parts such as wings, eyes, or brains.[/quote] Ah, there's the rub. From [url=http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CB/CB904.html]talkorigin.org[/url]: "Most, if not all, 'entirely new features' are modifications of previously existing features. Bird wings, for example, are modified tetrapod forelimbs, which are modified sarcopterygian pectoral fins. A complex, entirely new feature, appearing out of nowhere, would be evidence for creationism." And also from [url=http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CB/CB920.html]talkorigin.org[/url]: "What exactly is a new body part? Most evolutionary changes are changes to existing structures, not additions de novo. We have transitional sequences showing the evolutionary transition of fins to legs, plus some understanding of the genetic changes involved (Zimmer 1998, 57-85). Do legs qualify as a new body part? We also sometimes see duplication of body parts. It is not uncommon for cats to have extra toes, for example. Should not these qualify as new body parts?" As for the claim your claim that evolution "has never been shown to be capable of creating new genetic information," that is [url=http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CB/CB102.html]demonstrably false.[/url]
