Science of Information
Continued from last entry . .
Stephen C. Meyer, PHD, director and senior fellow at the Discovery Institute Center for Science and Culture has the following to say about information,
“I think the information revolution taking place in biology is sounding the death knell for Darwinism and chemical evolutionary theories. The attempt to explain the origin of life solely from chemical constituents is effectively dead now. Naturalism cannot answer the fundamental problem of how to get from matter and energy to biological function without the infusion of information from an intelligence.”
In order for information to exist, an alphabet of some kind must exist and be used consistently to produce specific (non-random) structures. There must also exist an interpretation device that can detect these structures (words) and apply (interpret) a consistent meaning to each. In the world of biological construction, there must also exist an agent to reproduce the building blocks based on the information conveyed by the unique "words".
To date, scientists have never witnessed the spontaneous development of information. In fact, to some experts, the very notion is ludicrous. How many millions of years would it take for a block of copper to produce an alphabet, much less a book based on that alphabet? And who or what could read the results? The answer is obvious.
Lee Strobel, former award winning legal editor for the Chicago Tribune has written a compelling book that explains the demise of evolutionary theory at the hands of recent scientific discoveries. The book is simply titled “The Case for a Creator”. Dr. Meyer’s quote comes from that book. Do not read the book if you want to go on believing in evolution. You have been warned!
