Re: that old bogus "added information" argument again ...
Natural selection only works in complete living things. It cannot account for the adding of eyes, blood and brains etc in premeval life.
I hope you understand that primordial life was complete and living, and therefore the subject of natural selection.
Also, no one (that I know of) is suggesting that a full brain or eye sprung out of a pool of unicellular organisms - that is ridiculous.
But some unicellular organism do have organelles for detecting light. And nematode have a few cells that act as a very rudimentary eye.
I think one problem here, and with the IC arguments, is that the proponents ask for a mechanism whereby an eyeball could assemble from nothing. That is not what evolution predicts - but rather a progressive specialization of a structure like the eyespot on a nematode...
