It's like saying a power drill is nothing more than electricity at work.
Hard to dispute that, but it's neither new nor interesting.

A crow would build a bunch of nests and rent them out. That’s evolution. That same crow using a stick to dig out grubs from a tree trunk is adapting.
There are myriads of variations within kinds (The LORD loves variation), but they hit essentially a pre built in “firewall” that will not let them be anything but a variation of their original kind.
All the healthy possibilities within a “kind” are already there from the beginning, genetically. In the beginning The LORD built into the genetic codes of all of His creatures, including man, a possible infinite amount of variations, when paired and re paired.
Mutations, which multiply though out the corrupted ages of this time, are present and may cause some weak, but not lasting, even minimally favorable changes. This being very rare, and fragile and actually serving to ultimately weaken an organism, even though in the short run, though an accidental fluke, useful for helping the organism survive.
Mutations would eventually take over our codes, and apart from the eminent return of Jesus Christ, would destroy us and all living things.
Viruses are break off beings. They are parasitical, partial beings, and to live must rely on their host cells to reproduce. They sometimes exchange information between beings. The information, they sometimes may exchange, is again, not new information, but information that was created into the genes of The LORD’s creatures, information that was there from the beginning.
When creatures specialize into species it is because of a loss of information, not the adding of new information. Creatures are isolated and certain genetic properties come into the forefront and take over, while other information is lost. A wolf is reduced, genetically, down to a Chihuahua. Wolves may again be reduced down to Chihuahua, but due to lots of lost genetic information, Chihuahuas are unlikely to ever again, through coupling, become wolves.
All information has been there from the beginning. A "firewall" exist that keeps creatures' offspring being from becoming anything except a creature of it's original kind, by design of The LORD.
It may even be possible, in my estimation, that The LORD orchestrates, in some way, the coming about of the differences needed to come forth by kinds, in survival situations.
