- A system that shows irreducible complexity is made up of several interacting parts, all of which are vital to the function. Therefore, such a system cannot be produced by slight, successive changes to a precursor.

Another indicator of redesign or extra creation might be Genesis 3:18. The earth would now bring forth thorns and thistles. Now it isn't conclusive that thorns and thistles were new creations, it does seem like they are a new thing which is part of the curse. If this is the case, there is nothing preventing God, in the scriptural account, from having created many new features. Also, since the thorns exist on other plants (roses, blackberries, etc.) it seems an addition to an existing creation rather than a new lifeform. This would also be consistent with the creation of new features for things like the snake.
Keep up the great work!
Chapter 6 of the Creation Answers Book is well worth reading in this regard: creation.com/images/pdfs/cabook/chapter6.pdf
