Is Genetic Novelty Evidence of Special Creation? Can Divine Guardrails be Identified in Genomes?

Can creationists identify uncrossable genetic boundaries that must exist between created "kinds" of living things? Do divinely appointed genetic guardrails exist that prevent the descendants of created kinds of organisms from diversifying to much: to the point that they become distinguishable kinds themselves? These are important questions for young-earth creationists who believe that biological diversity consists of a limited set of separately created lifeforms (kinds) that were not created static but allowed to dynamically adapt and speciate to fill the earth's biosphere over time. But how many original kinds were there and how far can a kind be stretched over time? Can an ancestral kind adapt into a feline and a dog and hence are part of a collected whole kind or are these separately created units of life? What criteria can be used to identify groups of nested organisms that belong to a single "kind" verses species that appear similar but, in fact, are unique separately created lineages? Her we discuss one young-earth creationist' proposal for how to identify the divine genetic guardrails that separate kinds and prevent them from changing too much. For Dr. Gordon Wilson it comes down to identifying novel genetic information (presumably novel genes) which are found in one group of species but not another to delineate one kind of created life from another. But what exactly makes genetic information novel? That is what we spend most of our time exploring here and we discover that the definition of novelty for most young-earth creationists is so limited that it becomes a rather useless tool since most of what I or other geneticists would call new genes or novel traits YECs explain away as not being truly "new information." In the end, the definition of novel genetic information remains elusive and therefore using it doesn't get the YEC any closer to a definitive criteria for identifying unique and separately created kinds. Ironically, I conclude young-earth creationists have confirmed that descent by modification is capable of creating new genes and functions in organisms undermining their claims of discontinuity between living things.
