If natural selection, mutations, polyploidy, and gene replication/duplication do not add new functional genetic information to DNA (they only delete, scramble, and copy existing information), then how exactly do you account for the astronomical increases in information required to arrive at human DNA with over 3 billion base pairs? And when I say that they copy information, this is subsequent to photocopying a page out of a book; no new information is added. Also, assuming you present a mechanism (which we do not currently observe), how would evolution accomplish this even within 3 billion years, unless it added at LEAST 1 necessary, coherent, and functional piece of information to this DNA every year? Finally, this does not even account for the proteins necessary to carry out instructions for the genome, the role that they play in eukaryote cells, the process of meiosis necessary for sexual reproduction, or the replication of 100 trillion cells necessary to produce a human.
