These are arguments that, in general, are only satisfying to people who are looking for reasons to discard evolution, don't replace it with a more functional understanding, and aren't taken seriously by almost anyone working in the field who is not employed by a creationist think tank. If they make you happy, great. It is difficult to have a discussion on the subject, because it requires both a strong understanding of evolutionary biology and information theory, a combination which very few people possess. It would be like a debate over the merits of Java and C++ between people who have never programmed a computer.
