Instinct is information that is not learned. It is observed in many lifeforms. Evolutionism has never come close to accounting for it. In fact instinct may be universal. I can't think of any kind of life that lacks it.

As there doesn't seem to be a lot of participation these days, I'll tell you how they attempt to explain the matter away. They say "those creatures which did such-and-such survived better than those who didn't."

That does not begin to account for the origin of instinct. Stories like that assume the instinct already exists.

I can say "If I had a billion dollars, it'd improve my chance of survival". In fact, I did say it aloud, as a matter of experimental science. But no million dollars appeared for me.

Such explanations only address the continued existence of a lifeform with a property. They don't address the origin of the property.

I have probably not listed all the cases where the existence of information defies evolutionary origin. There are probably others I'm forgetting or haven't yet encountered. Any time you observe information, you're probably looking at something that cannot be reconciled with evolutionist antihistory.
