Proven: Natural selection does not produce new species

Natural selection does not generate new genes/species. Natural selection adds no new genetic information as it only deals with the passing on of genes/traits already present . A new species has completely new traits/genes which were not in an antecedent so the antecedent species could not have passed them on NS is all about the transmission of already acquired traits/genes
if evolution can take place by speciation i.e. a new species has new traits/genes that are not present in the antecedent species thus NS is invalid as it cannot account for speciation

Natural selection does not generate new genes/species Natural selection adds no new genetic information as it only deals with the passing on of genes/traits already present and it will be pointed out genetics cannot account for the generation of new species/genes as it is claimed the generation of new genes [via mutation] is a random process due to radiation, viruses, chemicals etc and genetic cannot account for these process happening as they are out side the scope of genetics physics, chaos theory etc may give some explanation but genetics cant

Natural selection alone isn't going to generate new genetic information. That much is obvious. You have to have mutation for that. We do have examples of mutations producing new genes that are beneficial for the survival and reproduction of the organisms that received them. Nylon-eating bacteria are a good example (which actually involved multiple mutations).
