> dhw:In the context of how evolution works, you often use the (to me) obfuscatory term “intelligent information” in your determination to substitute automatism for autonomous intelligence in cells, whereas “intelligence” will do just fine for us humans.-To repeat: DNA is a code that carries information, which obviously represents intelligent planning, or life wouldn't work. Only an intelligence can create a code. How do you view this or explain the presence of such a marvelous code? Certainly not by chance. Intelligence information is planned. Static information is about crystals.-> dhw: I would suggest that his examples denote the subjective importance we attach to elements of our life in this universe. As he says elsewhere, “If the minds don't exist, then neither does meaning”. So how does that lead to “our universe must have meaning”? Sorry if this sounds ungracious. -Life appears to be a miracle. Why not imply meaning to the universe as part of the overall considerations in deciding if theism is reasonable?
