I guess my point would be that the ability to calculate CSI (or lack thereof) does not effect my belief that life has been designed in the slightest. If life has not been designed, how would it be any different than it is? The evidence for the design of life is exquisite, and the more we learn, the more mind-boggling it is to me that anyone would come to any other conclusion. The whole CSI calculation just seems like pointless busy work to me.

There are certain single piece parts in the aerospace industry that have thousands of features, which means it contains an enormous amount of information. A single rectangular chunk of aluminum, on the other hand, has very little information. I haven’t the faintest clue how to go about calculating the CSI that is contained in either of them, but I know that the difference between the two is considerable.


Therefore, Baby Jesus in the manger.

But my inability to give mathgrrl a rigorous equation by which to calculate it does not change the fact that CSI is there, and that there is a lot of it. And it doesn’t change the fact that if I found a similar piece part buried in the sands of the Sahara I would conclude unequivocally that the thing had an intelligent source.


oh i am sure you would do all sorts of things wouldn't you

So when I see ion powered turbines that are controlled by sophisticated sensory inputs and outputs, and whose manufacture and assembly is regulated by the most sophisticated software known to modern man, I will likewise conclude that it has an intelligent source, CSI be damned.



ok when you see that yes.  but when you make some shit up and wave your hands, we will laugh at you.  

M Holcumbrink ?  WTF if davetard was still around he would ban you for having a name like some kinda fucking middle earth fairy that joined the human race or some shit.  It must be open sock season over there or something.

now, an old tard in the new place

Hi MathGrrl,

Yes, I go by Mung, but feel free to think of me as Thomas, as in Doubting Thomas.

Could you please point me to any post in this thread in which you display competence in any of the following:

1. computational biology
2. evolutionary algorithms
3. genetic programming

My time is valuable, and I hate wasting it.


But I will waste the fuck out of yours so please, read this whole fucking thread and point out to me some shit somewhere in it

Bung is all about some SERIOUS INNERNETS BUISNESS

LISTEN TO ME HOMO!
