In the Forgotten Creationist/ID book endorsed by Nobel Prize Winner in Physics, there was mention of a landmark physics paper by Leo Szilard. The paper dealt with a long standing problem of Maxwell’s demon. The paper was not immediately about the problem of design, but it sparked later questions by Robert Gange and others about whether a mindless biotic soup can somehow have sufficient insight about itself so it can build the computerized self-replicators that characterize life. First, Gange describes the problem of Maxwell’s demon, and why Leo Szilard’s solution was important: Maxwell’s Mysterious “Demon” The organizational intricacies of protein reflect information on a scale that a Supreme Intelligence can produce, but that nature cannot. To see why this is … Continue reading Landmark 1929 Physics Paper: On the Decrease of Entropy in a Thermodynamic System by the Intervention of Intelligent Beings
