Wow! Fred has endorsed Scott as an "informed evolutionist"! Scott, you have arrived! The next time Fred says "informed evolutionist say...", you can contradict him, since you are now part of the club.

More info-babble. I have often wondered whether the following is an increase in information under the Creationist definition. I write a book, using only words that exist in Webster's dictionary. Is this new information? Of course not, as all the words were already present in the dictionary. It is just a rearrangement of existing information (much like Fred's "changes in an algorithm do not a new algorithm make").
