Eyes are off topic but....
xevolutionist,
Although Schraf has adequately addressed the "Darwin and the evolution of the eye" issue you may want to look at this page by the group Answers in Genesis. It is a list of arguments they think that creationists should not use because it makes the position look bad. The Darwin quote is about half way down.
Arguments we think creationists should NOT use

information from non-intelligent sources

The barrier is that no new genetic information can be produced by mutation. You only corrupt the information already present.
Please provide evidence that it does occur.
Although this has been answered, here is yet another example of an unambiguous increase in information from
Sylas
. You will notice that there is no requirement of an intelligence to increase information, only mutation.
Second. A mutation alters a gene sequence slightly. Then another mutation restores it back to the previous form (back mutation). If you have some objective measure of information that can distinguish information levels of gene sequences; then one of these mutations has increased information.
