6. Please point to a strictly natural process that creates information.
Selection of mutations that confer positive fitness in the environment the organism is in. Positive mutations become entrenched in the population and more positive mutations are added to this through selection. It is the accumalation of positive mutations as selected for by the environment that adds information to the genome.

What evidence is there that information, such as that in DNA, could ever assemble itself?
Unknown right now, DNA may not have been the first replicating molecule. As of now RNA looks to be the best explanation but this is still very tentative.

What about the 4,000 books of coded information that are in a tiny part of each of your 100 trillion cells?
What about the writings in those books that fit into very neat nested hierarchies that show common descent?

If astronomers received an intelligent signal from some distant galaxy, most people would conclude that it came from an intelligent source. Why then doesn’t the vast information sequence in the DNA molecule of just a bacterium also imply an intelligent source?
Show me the information created by intelligence and the information caused by mutation. As far as I can see, those two can not be separated, if intelligence was even involved. If aliens transmitted the genome of E. coli, what would they be trying to communicate?
