It's true! When discussing origin theories, you can leave out examples of changes within a species because that is evident to everyone. What you should try to show is any sort of new information in the DNA of a species. Not just a beneficial change. It has to come about by additional information in DNA and can't come from a LOSS of genetic information.

What are you going to tell them next? That there's actually respectable scientists with real degrees that disagree with the Fairy Tale of Evolution?

Again all of the "supposed scientists" are out with what has been crammed down their throats. Genetic mutation doesn't ADD any new DNA.(apparently you do not know how DNA works).
Let us suppose the evilution(intentional spelling) is right, and it is survival of the fittest. The inferior genes are lost in down breeding. That being said, it looses material and genetic information.
You make make a dog from a wolf, but you will never be able to make a wolf from a dog. Basic genetic teaching in universities. If you cannot make the wolf come back then information has been lost. Ironic, don't you think that a wolf is stronger and a better hunter than a dog. So when man gets involved, they mess everything up.
I have a BS in Earth Science, I have researched and have seen the results of experiments. Unbelievers are always accusing Christians of not using logic or reason. However, if you take an objective look at the evidence, LOGIC and REASON actually show more evidence for creation than evilution.
You will never get an evilutionist to admit that however, because their belief in their truth is so strong, one would think they were defending a theological argument.
Drdino.com offers a great deal of information on the subject. All I ask is that you watch it with an open mind.

The creations have to have this otherwise there is not enough room on the ark for all the species alive today. Since this is very basic can't-fit-a55-gallon-drum into-a-pint-pot math they can not handwave it away. So they have to resort to Noah having 2/4/7/14 of each 'kind'.
The problem with that is that there is no way that each of those 'kinds' could have evolved into all the species we see today in a mere 4000 years. Mutations just do not happen that quickly. But science never was their strong point.
As to the micro-yes macro-no rubbish, what is the mechanism within the DNA that can mutate the bat 'kind' into every species of bat we see today, but stop it from becoming anything else?
This is like saying that I can walk 3 yards O.K. in 5 seconds, but it is totally impossible for me to walk a mile in an hour.

Michelle, there are four types of mutation two of which (insertions and duplication) result in an increase in the amount of genetic material.
3 of the 4 (duplication, insertion, and transposition) increase the amout of information in general.
Only one form of mutation, deletion, actually reduces the amount of genetic information.
Btw, what magical boundary is there that tells DNA to stop evolving past a micro change?
Edit:
Read Gazoos links. They prove what you are requesting.

are you on crack?
You obviously do not understand DNA...
lets just say when atoms come together, they make molecules, and when molecules come together, they make compounds with certain properties, and they compounds like interact with each other, to make something like DNA, and DNA is made of bases: adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine; and the bases are arrange in ways to become like letters of the alphabet, making a language out of DNA.
When mutations happen DNA is coded differently, and thus, changes the cells and whatever the function of the cells are.
Say like in a paragraph, you change some words, there will be loss of information but there will also be a gain of information. and you can add words. or shorten the paragraph.
please learn basic science before attempting to argue creationism

Creationists were dragged kicking and screaming into accepting evolution because they could not do otherwise with the overwhelming evidence. They call it, however, "micro-evolution" and object to "macro-evolution". There is plenty of evidence for so-called macro-evolution look here:

As for additional information in DNA there is a multitude of examples of it. The creationists just ignore it and lie, as usual.

The additional information obtains from natural selection, which weeds out inferior mutations. Evolution is now a proven fact; proof details are available on request.
Postscript: previous response is correct.
