“Information is more fundamental than matter and is not able to be destroyed even in black holes” because it represents the qualitative and essential aspect of the universe while matter-energy represent only the quantitative and substantial aspect of the universe. Therefore if we consider the First Cause of the cosmos we must call it the “Supreme Essence” and we cannot call it the “Supreme Substance” or “Supreme Quantity”, which would be nonsense. At the very end this “fundamentality” and “eternity” of information is exactly what rebuts evolutionism from a conceptual point of view and in the same time explains the origin of the universe and life.niwrad

Could someone start a new thread on an segment in the new WIRED Magazine (FEB 2007). It is a part of the What We Don't Know About . . . On page 121 it has a segement on John Archibald Wheeler a collaberator of Niels Bohr and Albert Eienstein. He proposes that information gives rise to "every it - every particle, every field of force, even the space continuum itself." The article also asks if information is possibly more fundamental than matter itself. From my small primate mind this appears to be very ID friendly language. The article also has another segment on information not being able to be destroyed in black holes. Is this a corner being turned? Maybe Dr. Bill could weigh in on information being more fundamental than matter and not being able to be destroyed even in black holes.late_model

When Dawkins finally gives up atheism like Flew did, I think he's going to feel very silly when he analyzes his own arguments with a mind not blinded by ideology.shaner74

Yet not as risible as Dawkins writing itself! Really, if you read his work without emotion, it's (unintentionally) funny! In fact, this is so funny because it's his argument verbatim, just substituting "Dawkins" for God. Why didn't he include, "Male humans should lower the seat cover on the loo after use in consideration of their female partners" as one of his "commandments". Yes, he is to be laughed at, pity, and perhaps the power of prayer shall work as well. When he demonstrates either the self-sacrifice and humility of Mother Theresa in alleviating suffering, or finds a treatment, using his "faith" that is successful against a cancer, or even ringworm, I'll stop laughing at him. He only excels in rhetoric; to me, he's not a scientist, but a frustrated lawyer.J. Parker

[...] The Dawkins Delusion DaveScot at Uncommon Descent has posted this video, entitled “The Dawkins Delusion.” It’s hilarious, especially if you know anything about Dawkins. [...]The Dawkins Delusion « SUMMA PHILOSOPHIAE
