DNA Proves Existence of a Designer
RE: DNA Proves Existence of a Designer
You could only be disagreeing with yourself.  Either what you accepted before is true..or your current denial is true. You -just- told me computers had intelligence. I doubt that either of us thinks they have mind.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

What I agreed to before is that rocks contain Shannon information and that everything in the universe comes from a Creator. I never said it was intelligent information. That is a different type of information.

Thats odd, since noboby asked anything about any of that, nor did you mention any of that.

Let's try again. Do computers possess mind or intelligence?

We discussed it a long time ago.

Computers do not have a mind.  There is an intelligence programmed into them.

So, computers do not possess a mind, while they do express intelligence.  Ergo.."intelligent design" could be a product of a mindless thing.

...so long as it has intelligence.

Agreed?

Their intelligence is only due to their creator.

Obviously not the case.  Not everything that we create is a computer...agreed?

Agreed, but everything we created is created by us and is either a random mess or is complex and specific to varying degrees.  Just think about the number of man-hours it takes to produce a single pencil from concept design to shipment.  Then think of what a space station would take.  The specified complexity of the space station comes no where near that of DNA in the cell and what is accomplished at a nano-scale.  All glory to God.

Mindless things can possess intelligence.  Agree or disagree?

Based on what I have seen in this thread I would have to disagree.

Seriously though, no there are different types of information.  Something that is totally mindless lacks any intelligence.

Oh balls. There are different ways to conceive of information, primarily Shannon's or the Kolmogorov-Chaitin. CSI is just pseudoscientific bullshit.

CSI is an important aspect of science.  ID is used in multiple fields like archeology, anthopology, forensics, SETI,...
