This is not so. The recognition of how natural selection works ought to tell you that what brings new phenotypes to the fore is the elimination of other genetic possibilities in a population. In fact the recognition of how DOMESTIC selection works, as in breeding programs, ought to demonstrate this.
Faith,
You seem to be emphasizing the selection aspect of genetics. And selection for is also selection against and would tend to reduce and sometime eliminate genetic information in a gene pool.
I'd like to know how you deal with mutations as a source of new information.
The other factor that is inseperable is the change of environments that occurs on various scales. A change in environment will alter the selelection of the gene pool. I'm not a all clear how creationists decided what is macro and what is micro evolution. Do you accept Darwin's work on the finchs of the Galapagos? That an breeding pair of creatures moving into a new enviroment with different enviromental niches would develope a range of new species?
Because we have to specialize in studies science gets broken up. But it's important to keep the large picture that life is an ecology. It's the entire universe that supports life on earth. Locally through the sun and even more locally the planet with water, atmosphere, substrates etc. It's all interdependent. The changes that are taking place occur throughout the whole system.
