I'm sure you're eager to respond to this: There are many plaster cast copies of Michelangelo's David in existence. They weigh less than the six-ton marble original; solid marble weighs 160 lbs per cubic foot, while plaster weighs 53 lbs per cubic foot. Per your definition of size, although they are of identical physical dimensions and displace identical volumes of identical shape, plaster-cast David and the original David are NOT the same size. So, if a precise plaster cast copy of David is not, by your definition, the same size as the original David, how much taller would plaster cast David have to be than actual David to be the same size as actual David? Show your work. Asshole- it's not my definition of size. As I said a person's size includes their height and weight.

To add to Mindrover's post, as he's granting that CSI is measuring "information", I'd like to know what is actually being measured? Joe, could you define or tell what type of information is being measured by CSI?

Granting that SI can be measured, how much SI is required for CSI to be present? Does CSI = Designed? These are honest questions, I would hope for an answer devoid of invectives. A legit question deserves a legit answer.  Joe can correct me if I get it wrong, but according to Dembski's "Design Inference" : PREMISE Information can be measured. (in bits preferebly). PREMISE "Specified" information (SI) can be measured unambiguously. (not proven IMO) IF  the information is "specified" AND IF  the SI exceeds the UPB (Universal Probability Bound) of ~10^150 (approx 500 bits) THEN the information is sufficiently complex and Design (capital D) is inferred. -------------- The majority of the stupid is invincible and guaranteed for all time.

Thought Provoker Posts: 530 Joined: April 2007 (Permalink) Posted: April 04 2010,12:57    If we are seriously going to talk about it, here is Dembski's 2005 paper titled, Specification: The Pattern That Signifies Intelligence       Quote We thus define the specified complexity of T given H (minus the tilde and context sensitivity) as X = –log2[ 10^120 · S(T)·P(T|H)]. ... It follows that if 10^120 · S(T)·P(T|H) < 1/2 or, equivalently, that if X = –log2[ 10^120 · S(T)·P(T|H)] > 1, then it is less likely than not on the scale of the whole universe, with all replicational and specificational resources factored in, that E should have occurred according to the chance hypothesis H. Consequently, we should think that E occurred by some process other than one characterized by H. It is interesting how many ID proponents have not taken the time to understand Dembski's calculation for "specified complexity". Specified Complexity is nothing more than a fancy way of saying if "...it is less likely than not... [something came about] ...according to the chance hypothesis H...[then it] ...occurred by some process other than one characterized by H." Dembski then argues design is the only possible alternative. This is old news and has been argued by people much smarter than I. My argument with all of this is where anyone, including Dembski, is justified in assuming anything happens by "chance"?  Quantum Mechanics is non-deterministic.  We don't know it is random.

The reference unit of error for the measure is taken from the case mentioned above in the M/N ratio calculation note, where Dembski had an error of about 65 orders of magnitude. "Dave W." formalized the notion with an equation, and W. Kevin Vicklund suggested using a rounded-off value of 150 as the constant in the denominator, based upon Dembski's figure of 10^150 as a universal small probability. Thus, the final form of quantifying error in dembskis (Reed Cartwright proposed the symbol ?) is ? = | ln(erroneous measure) - ln(correct measure) | / 150 There is not yet a consensus on what to term the unit, but two proposals being considered are "Dmb" and "duns".
