What's funny about a sneaky little idiot trying to misrepresent science- and using fallacious logic to do so- in order to lie to us about how things are? Where's the part where I'm supposed to be laughing, in your dishonest crusade to twist every part of reality to fit your presuppositions? ![]()

Even it were true, I fail to see the humour - and I am a funny guy. Perhaps you should rephrase your bullshit statement.
'The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and seal. It could not be expressed better.'
-- Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens "I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations". - Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) "In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!

Snowy, seriously, it's a metaphor to make things easier to understand. Information is not a thing that exists beyond our perception of patterns. If you think it's otherwise, please present to us a piece of information as a discrete entity unto itself. Show us how one measures information.
I think you'll find that all of the examples you might bring to bear will involve us using our minds to read meaning into arrangements of patterns. It's the same with DNA: we can "read" the chemical interactions within DNA molecules because they act and react in a set of predictable ways. The "information" in DNA is just the pre-loaded pattern, the code waiting to be interpreted. It's not some thing that exists alongside the chemical reactions.

Information is infinite.
We classify information as "useful" or "unuseful" according to our opinions. The bricks on my house display binary information, also decimal and hexadecimal. It contains an infinite amount of characteristics to make patterns. Some may be useful and significant to mankind, some are not. That is solely at the discretion of the observer. Reality is not impressed by your puny god..

I suspect it is a favorite strategy of apologetics: Assert that reason, logic, science, rationality and every other big-boy discipline is based on unproven assumptions. Then assert that since religion too is based on faith it must be a big-boy discipline as worthy of everyone's respect as all the others.
Christians are always so concerned with facts and observable evidence: but only when it comes to anything they don't like.
