I think that Wesley has identified the issue quite clearly:
"Also, we can point out that Dembski considers natural selection to simply be
an element of the set of evolutionary algorithms
(<http://inia.cls.org/~welsberr/ae/dembski_wa/19990913_explaining_csi.html>)."
So if evolutionary algorithms can generate apparant CSI that is
indistinguishable from actual CSI then there is a problem. Wesley's
algorithm room shows this:

So perhaps we should wait for Dembski to clarify the issues before we
conclude that natural selection cannot generate CSI?
Another interesting example of an evolutionary algorithm generating IMHO CSI
can be found at http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/adrian96silicon.html
the argument that this is CSI can be found at
