oldman,

I'll ask my colleague for his take on that.  In the meantime, I never responded to your Dawkins question, though I thought I had.  Sorry!

I read his reply and he discusses the "model" type whatever that means, but he never really stated what process will add information to the genome.  And for you bacterial resistance types as evo evidence, how does the deletion or inactivation of a gene add features to a future line of living things?  Another problem I have with mutations adding structures that had not existed before is my spider quandry.

Suppose we do get a spider to evolve from some insect perhaps? archearachnid? whatever.  Then how does it know how to use the spinnerets?  You must mutate the brain to instinctively know what to do with the new thing.  Otherwise we get spinnerets and the poor guy is trapped in his own web at worst or just drags it behind at best.  Go back to the design site and reread TV engineer's response.
