Trippy I don’t know what you are attempting to prove here?
There is still no new information that is being added to the genes, and on top of this there is a clear loss of information.
One cannot say that the gene for extra legs is added information since it is just simply a tandem repeat of the same genes. And as far as the frog picture, this is a LOSS of information. Loss of information does not turn one creature into another. Frogs do not turn into princes.
But you also run into other problems… there has been numerous genetic experiments done that have tried to induce/cause mutations to flies, insects, rats, mice and birds and other organisms in an effort to prove evolution. Yet none of these experiments have been successful in producing a single permanent (and it can be argued “beneficial”) morphological change in any organism. It still deals with the same INFORMATION that is just rearranged differently or is lost.
Here is something else that needs serious thought… Scientists have found that certain living cells come with a built-in self-destruct mechanism. For instance as a caterpillar turns into a butterfly, or a tadpole into a frog. When these types of things morph (metamorphosis) they no longer need their former apparatuses (tails, arms, legs or gills). This happens when a special morphing gene gives the order at the appropriate programmed time for the tail cells of a tadpole to begin to die, or the caterpillar to grow butterfly wings. What is actually happening here is that programmed within these specific living cells G-d had programmed a certain gene that signals the death of those cells at the appointed time of His choosing. Perhaps G-d created metamorphosis in some creature to help pollinate, provide food for predators, and help plants grow through many mechanisms. However, the million dollar question remains, if this is not G-d’s doing, then why would evolution develop genes that order their own death, because such a gene would not aid survival? I’ll tell you what else is amazing about the metamorphosis of frogs and butterfly (including other things that morph like beetles)… and this has to do with continuing reproduction. If one evolved where was the other to mate with?
What I talk about here is all encorporated in my book.
So truth is contingent on popular belief? Do you know a random segment of the population? I doubt it. Given you're a religious creationist its likely you know more of them so you saying "I have friends with similar views to me" is pretty redundant. If you lived in the middle of Saudi Arabia most people you know would say Allah and not God is er.... god.
Firstly, simply because we don't yet know the specifics of how organic matter formed doesn't mean it cannot be known. Ignorance now doesn't prove ignorance forever. 100 years ago we didn't know how to split the atom but to claim its impossible would be false. Secondly, if science was constantly supporting your view wouldn't science have an even higher number of believers in creationism than other areas of work? Yet the opposite is true. In this thread you have been corrected by numerous science graduates and you've ignored them all. And something tells me you don't have a science degree....
So to say science supports your claims is simply a lie. Its a fact that the more educated a population is in science the less they believe in creationism.

At least teddy bears exist. When someone says "God loves you and if you don't believe that he'll condemn you forever" I can't help but think its a bit of a contradictory thing to say.
Alphanumeric, Good, at least you can acknowledge that teddy bears exist. You do know that the teddy bear was thought of and "designed" by man, they did not come about by chance. I suppose you may have a theory on how they are related (mutated or evolved) from the real bear? You know that imaginary link.
I often wonder the implications of this whole premise that evolutionism poses on society. I think that there is some kind of “political agenda” working behind the scenes to dumb-down people which often revolves around “money” and power.
