I'm sure many of you have heard of the question for Richard Dawkins asking for an example or evolutionary process adding new genetic information. There was a small broohaha over it, but I am still unclear on answers to the question, though poorly asked IMHO. I have a similar question/thought.
Given that life started sometime, in its simplest form, at some point, new information must be added for it to "evolve", that is, get from there to where we are today. A single-celled organism is a far cry from a fish, or a dog, etc.
How does a single-celled organism become a two-celled organism?
I am very unclear on exactly how evolution explains this. Maybe I'm just uneducated on the subject (which I am, I think), but I feel like I'm searching for a needle in a haystack here. How does this process work? Do we have examples of it?

Having technical problems (note to Percy also)
I've been trying to move this topic to the "Biological Evolution" forum, but I keep getting "Internal Server Error" messages.
