I haven't read the paper, but from the reviews Dembksi and Marks seem to be really saying little not consistent with evolution. In fact one of their themes, that information increase in genomes are directed by interaction with the environment, is something I have often said here myself. The new tack seems to be that the intelligent designer is shaping the environment, and therefore the fitness landscape, and thereby driving natural selection in a particular direction.
One bad thing here is the creation of even more new 'types' of information, 'endogenous', 'exogenous' and 'active', for people to get confused about and fail to define usefully.
TTFN,
