Scientism & Philosophical Arguments

[SteveII]

Using information theory developed by Claude Shannon, we observe that DNA has the capacity to carry huge amounts of information. As Crick explained in 1958, “By information I mean the specification of the amino acid sequence in protein...Information means here the precise determination of sequence, either of bases in the nucleic acid or on amino acid residues in the protein." Further experimentation since has led to specific knowledge of the types of information encoded.

Which doesn't answer my question, which is how you determined that information to be specified, as opposed to what it usually is, which is a post hoc understanding of patterns, occurring in minds? And for that matter, why do you think it's at all relevant to whether or not it was designed, given that information can also just be derived from ultimately unguided processes working under consistent patterns? 

According to Dembski, complex sequences are those that exhibit an irregular and improbable arrangement that defies expression by a simple rule or algorithm. A specification, on the other hand, is a match or correspondence between a physical system or sequence and a set of independent functional requirements or constraints. Link
