Good points. In my experience, when I have presented DNA sequences, etc. to ID CSI/IC types and asked them to tell me about the 'complexity' and such, I inevitably am told that I first must tell them 'what it does.'
In other words, they cannot say a thing about one of their main arguments unless they already have an answer.
Dude: How much CSI is in this bit of DNA?
IDC: Well, um, what is that bit of DNA?
Dude: What do you mean?
IDC: Is it forma gene, or...
Dude: Oh, it is part fo a gene
IDC: Oh Well, then it definitely has CSI that was put there via intelligence
Dude: No, wait, it is not in a gene
IDC: Oh, then it has none
In other other words, theirs is a big circular argument.
