More about how evolution works: look at the video (Evolution)

dhw: You love the term “intelligent information”, but in the past when we have tried to pin it down, it simply amounts to the mechanism which enables organisms to process information from outside themselves and act accordingly. We don't know how ANYTHING originally appeared in evolution. No matter how much you cloak your ideas in fancy language, you are faced with a choice: either organisms are preprogrammed by your God to adapt/innovate, he intervenes personally, or there is a mechanism (possibly designed by your God) that enables organisms to do their own independent adapting and innovating.-DAVID: Not "we pinning it down". You are skipping the obvious again: DNA is an informational code. Information does not develop on its own. It has to be initially supplied or created. I grant you that epigenetics appears to create newly coded information. However, first life to 'now' is a continuum, and there is no way to go from some organic molecules to information-bearing DNA on an naturalistic basis. DNA only when formed can then add or subtract. Intelligent information is the only answer to the beginning. Not "either-or". All of your theistic probabilities fit the story. Why choose? Look, you've just helped to prove God.-As usual, you scurry away from “how evolution works” to the question of origin, although over and over again - even in the passage you have quoted - I have ceded that the mechanism may have been designed by your God.

A video which explains:

"Information drives the development of life. But what is the source of that information? Could it have been produced by an unguided Darwinian process? Or did it require intelligent design? [...]-I watched it first time round. How often do I have to repeat my acknowledgement that the source may be your God? The mystery of the source is a prime argument against atheism, just as the mystery of the source of a designer is a prime argument against theism.
