New genetic information?
The creationists say that Darwinism cannot account for new genetic information, only a reshuffling of the old information. What is the evolutionists answer to this?

Isn't your post just a reshuffling of old information. Languages have a finite alphabet and a finite number of words, yet humans can create new information from reshuffling the old.
But then again, your attempt at new information has failed, it is just repetition of an old question that has been answered before. |

First, creationists are often very vague about what they mean by "information".
Second, gene duplications can easily create additional genome length. |
