it explains apparent design in nature by a purely materialistic process that doesn’t require creation or guidance by supernatural forces.
Again, the author is mixing fact (natural selection exists) with fantasy (it creates new things). Natural selection does not create anything. It acts on something that already exists. You can't "select" if there's nothing there. It isn't called "Natrual Creation" - it only selects. Therefore it can never be responsible for creating improvements - only for making life difficult for those less suited for the environment. The real question is - how do creatures improve and get new information added to their reproductive DNA so that it can be passed down and improved on some more without it getting wiped out by natural selection over millions of years before it becomes functional?
