Surprisingly Dawkins first goes quiet then totally avoids the question which I think is an extremely valid one. He was asked to "give an example of a genetic mutation or an evolutionary process which can be seen to increase the information in the genome" considering that our genomes for example have much more information than those of other animals. Now since no evolutionary process increases the information that leaves a big problem.
Now in general I agree with the main tenants of evolution and I would be interested to hear if anyone has an answer to the question.
