From the link:
"Evolutionists know they have a problem with creating new genetic information"
The author merely doesn't know what "information" is. When Claude Shannon, the first person to be able to quantify and calculate information, did so, he did it in genetics. And it was simple for him to show that any new mutation in a population increases information.
Claude Shannon founded information theory in the 1940s. The theory has long been known to be closely related to thermodynamics and physics through the similarity of Shannon's uncertainty measure to the entropy function. Recent work using information theory to understand molecular biology has unearthed a curious fact: Shannon's channel capacity theorem only applies to living organisms and their products, such as communications channels and molecular machines that make choices from several possibilities. Information theory is therefore a theory about biology, and Shannon was a biologist.
Population geneticists use Shannon's work to measure change in information in living populations. Simple example available on request.
