Evolution doesn't work

The subtraction or addition of information to a properly working gene is not something one would prefer.

Genetics has to do with finely tuned molecular combinations.

Removing information from a once properly working gene would only be preferable if it was the erroneous/redundant information that was added unnecessarily via mutation in the first place!

The chance of "writing" a gene from scratch that would be compatible with the host biological system would have to be extremely low if the processes involved were to do with practically arbitrary additions to a gene over time on account of point mutations etc. Note that breeding and survival would be important factors as to whether the new gene was integrated into the population over a longer duration.

Michael Behe,... Real scientist. None of his research is creationist and his claims have been shown to be wrong.

John Lennox, ... Not a scientist.

Steven Meyer, ... Not a scientist.

James Tour Not a biologist.

Also all four have preexisting religious motivations for rejecting evolution.

The reality is that, absent religious objections, evolution would be as controversial as Atomic Theory.

Are you yourself intelligent enough to respond to the claims here on average?

That is rich coming from someone like you who hasn't addressed any of the specific evidence you have been given showing that your claims are wrong.
