Re: Differences
(((Mick: 1. Mathematical models of what kinds of signal are NOT intelligently designed.. ___ID, on the other hand, has no clear model of what biological "noise" looks like, so ID researchers are unable to falsify a claim that a signal is intelligent.)))
This shows a lack of knowledge or a lack of understanding of ID. There have been very clear and specific criteria laid out very clearly.
Is it not generally claimed/assumed by proponents of ID that all life on Earth is Intelligently Designed? If this is the case then how can there be any such thing as biological "noise" - by definition it can't exist.
This means that SETI is aiming to identify an ID signal by differentiating it from existing and identifiable natural signals. The ID movement on the other hand is trying to identify an ID signal by differentiating it from... what?
Perhaps you could explain to us what the very clear and specific criteria laid out very clearly are? At the very least a link to a website with a summary of the criteria.
