Gene duplication, polyploidy, insertions, etc. do not help the evolutionary cause. While they represent an increase in amount of DNA, they do not constitute an increase in the amount of functional genetic information—these create nothing new. Molecules-to-man evolution needs new genes (for making feathers on reptiles, for example).

Once again, very misleading, saying molecules to man implies we evolved from organic matter to humans. I would like an example or how, if the insertion mutation occurs in a specific gene which then alters the protein it codes and thus a different enzyme, does not help in evolution.
Perhaps he should read this. And you'll see at the bottom a bibliography with all valid and qualified quotes. So how's Dr Dino doing these days?
