How does information come out of inorganic chemistry, or organic, for that matter?

I just read a paper covering the same topic.

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.

Hmmm. Reading ID literature. An other open mind!

Honestly, I don't care what the philosophical or religious viewpoints of the author are as long as they don't let it destructively interfere with their work. If belief in a designer inspires them to pursue an avenue of research that would otherwise be anathema, so much the better.

Best definition I've seen in a while of an open mind.

And the essay Tony alerted us to was the best defence of design that I've read since your own, David (very long, though, and I must confess to skipping some of the more technical sections). I was also impressed by the article concerning consciousness and anaesthesia, which I didn't have to sign up for. It raises yet more intriguing questions, especially as the gradual loss of consciousness can actually be monitored. I'm enjoying my science education!
