Evolution

Hello Dear friendsI have been a believer for a number of years and have been a creationist all of that time. However, the theory of evolution has always been a thorn in my flesh and satan uses it to…Continue

Brian Guiley replied to Malcolm Turner's discussion 'Evolution'"Actually, information does always originate with a mind, that is one of the laws purported for information in the text cited. Recipient does not have to be a mind (I can write a program for a computer - the computer just has to be able to understand…"
Prometheus Wins replied to Malcolm Turner's discussion 'Evolution'"Brian,
Your definition of information seems to pre-suppose an intelligent agent involved in its creation and/or reception. If this is the case, there is a discrepancy somewhere between your definition of information and that used by most…"
Prometheus Wins replied to Malcolm Turner's discussion 'Evolution'"Jeanette,
It's only in your mind that scientists view science as a game where they try to "score" against creationists.

Brian Guiley replied to Malcolm Turner's discussion 'Evolution'"Paul,
Since you didn't elucidate upon why what we're discussing is not information theory, I had to guess, and guessed you found the plethora of information available on Shannon's information theory. The quotes (not mine, from other…"
Brian Guiley replied to Malcolm Turner's discussion 'Evolution'"Paul,
The double notions of information as both facts and communication are also inherent in one of the foundations of information theory.
Information is stimuli that has meaning in some context for its receiver.
Information theory can comprise…"
Brian Guiley replied to Malcolm Turner's discussion 'Evolution'"Paul,
Ok, show me a place where it's been identified that genetic information transmitted make a wing where it normally states make a leg then?
Sorry, couldn't resist.
However, the changes that would be required to "randomly"…"
Brian Guiley replied to Malcolm Turner's discussion 'Evolution'"Paul,
Ok, so information is information if it is understandable by the receiver. Very well then. And information is valid and does not communicate or imply purpose?
Very well, the next time you send an email or letter or memo, why don't you…"
Brian Guiley replied to Malcolm Turner's discussion 'Evolution'"Ok. The example was that, but lets examine it some. What does that have to do with William Shakespeare, since you anagramed William Shakespeare to come up with it. Is any anagram of William Shakespeare also information? Does it have to form new…"
Brian Guiley replied to Malcolm Turner's discussion 'Evolution'"Well, again, depends on what you classify as information. If you want to classify information as any random sequence, then you should contact all the SETI people and let them know that they've been receiving information from stars for years in…"
Brian Guiley replied to Malcolm Turner's discussion 'Evolution'"Well Paul, that depends on how you define information. Again, information under my definition communicates. Information, from what you've presented is simply characters on a page. In which case the random characters I indicated were as valid a…"
Brian Guiley replied to Malcolm Turner's discussion 'Evolution'"My background is Computer Science, though I dabble in much.
Information Theory is intriguing, but most of what I know about it I got from the online book at AIG. A good read, if a bit on the technical side. There you will find an explanation of the…"
Brian Guiley replied to Malcolm Turner's discussion 'Evolution'"Now we're delving into information theory, which may require a much greater treatment than a simple post, but....
Information is more than just letters or codes on a page or in a cell, it includes within it a purpose and intended action of the…"
Prometheus Wins replied to Malcolm Turner's discussion 'Evolution'"Jeanette, I’m just replying to Malcolm’s question here. I did not start this thread.
Regarding descent with modification: your assertion that this process is confined within the limits of certain kinds of animals is not supported by…"
Prometheus Wins replied to Malcolm Turner's discussion 'Evolution'"Kaitlin,
Very good point that people should be more specific in their statements. In that vein: Are there aspects of evolutionary theory that you more or less agree with? Are there things that are more difficult to stomach?
And: what does stardust…"
