Information certainly does need to exist, because our bodies are complex and the "recipe" for making it is encoded in our DNA. Evolution had to make the recipe when none existed in the beginning, according to the theory. I understand evolution is not purposeful, but it still has to explain the origins of the complexity and the code for it in our DNA.
Thanks for the links (from TalkOrigins). Unfortunately, such references are usually frustratingly inaccessible to outsiders (unless I'm prepared to pay US$15 for a single article). But some are there so I'll have a look.
As for the rest of the comment, I try to ignore ridicule when I see it (though it's tough to take). I'm trying to stick to the facts and reason.
