2.         The following question was addressed to Professor Richard Dawkins, one of the world’s leading evolutionists, while taping for a TV show:  "Professor Dawkins, can you give an example of a genetic mutation or an evolutionary process which can be seen to increase the information in the genome?"
            Answer: 10+ seconds of pensive silence followed by Dawkins' statement asking that the video camera be shut off.  When the taping recommenced, Dawkins gave a non-responsive answer to this simple question.

            Watching Dawkins, one is reminded of the engraving on a plaque at the U.S. Naval War College with this inscription, "Nothing is as terrible to see as ignorance in action." by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832).

http://www.detectingdesign.com/fossilrecord.html#Schweitzer.,   This is not an isolated instance.       
There is a list of 41 other examples published (Dr. Schweitzer is on this list) on the web site        http://www.icr.org/soft-tissue-list/         The author, Brian Thomas, researched the scientific literature and has written an article “Published Reports of Original Soft Tissue Fossils” and it was posted on the ICR web site on July 21, 2011.  The article quotes only non-secular sources.  The evolutionary age of the samples varied from 10 to 360 million years old.
