I've been butting heads for a year or two on boards with hardcore creationists trying to convince me that information can only be reduced and not added (despite the six-fingered species of humans). Is this the same argument that is typically made about the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics? If not, what is the typical rebuttal to this question?

 

Also, I would like to read information about the evolution of the precursors to the first single-celled organisms. Can someone direct me to good sources of this type of information?

The 2nd law of thermodynamics has nothing to do with information complexity. Also, if someone doesn't believe that populations can evolve under selective pressure, then I'd like them to explain antibiotic-resistance bacteria.

A species itself is a real thing; it's a group of inter-reproducing individuals.

Then how would you explain ring species? Where is the demarcation?

Hey guys, I just found this forum. This looks like a fun place to talk science.
