Beating a Dead Straw Horse

My recent series on specified complexity and conservation of information provoked responses that I would like to address.

Breaking Sticks

A large portion of post by ID critic Tom English is devoted to an example of conservation of information involving broken sticks.

The GUC Bug

ID critics Joe Felsenstein and Tom English discuss a simple greedy search algorithm, which they name the GUC (Greedy Uphill Climber) Bug.

What Does “Life’s Conservation Law” Actually Say?

The conservation of information, showing that all information is derived from outside of the universe, is suggestive of intelligent design.

Specified Complexity — Like Déjà Vu All Over Again

In a series of posts, I plan to address objections from geneticist Joe Felsenstein and computer scientist Tom English.

These Critics of Intelligent Design Agree with Us More Than They Seem to Realize

Conservation of information shows that either design or the original configuration of the universe must account for the complexity of life.

No, Avida Has Not Falsified Irreducible Complexity

Many critics have insisted that evolution can produce irreducibly complex structures, pointing notably to the example of Avida, a computer model demonstrated in a 2003 Nature paper.

Dr. Winston Ewert: Irreducible Complexity Remains Unrefuted

On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin talks with Dr. Winston Ewert about his article that was published recently in the journal BIO-Complexity. Dr. Ewert’s paper criticizes a number of computer programs that purport to show that irreducible complexity could result from random, unguided evolution. He finds that “The prediction of irreducible complexity in computer simulations is that such systems will not generally evolve apart from intelligent aid” and this prediction “has thus far stood the test in computer models.” …
