In fact, you just did it.
Oh, I see. Just because I won't address irrelevancies, I must be an atheist.
Just like, since your English is not so good, you must be from Mexico?

Re: turtles all the way down?
Information is at the beginning of universe, but information is at the beginning of life as well. So you have to start your theory from the beginning itself - from the evolution of information, my friend... not from existing information!!!"
Many people have tried to explain it to you, and I'm not sure how to make it more clear that the theory of evolution does NOT deal with the creation of the initial information - even if you believe it does.
Do you know the general meaning of the word "evolve"? I'm not entirely sure that you do, since you use it as a synonymous with "create".
When something (like information) "evolves" it "changes" from what already is existing - it is not "created" without prexisting information. That is why the "theory of evolution" is not called the "theory of creation", because the information has only changed, it has not been created.
We shouldn't argue past each other because of incorrect definitions.

Re: turtles all the way down?
I dont know if this helps or hurts so if it cann not bee used in "prooving" one way or the other than please ignore this one.
Gladyshev in Advanced Gerontology 2002-Vol.9-P49-53 on page 53 wrote, "It has been established that the evolution is described both by thermodynamic and kinetic factors and by the trajectory factor (symmetry or chirality) which should be accounted for in rotating systems. The Coriolis forces can support spiral bio-structures to a different degree depending on the habitation area of organism."
There IS PROIR INFORMATION, right here on EVC, and though I have yet to send another personal email to Russia since the spring, my contribution here nairly makes a habit out of GG's "habitat" and indeed in the extended discussion in my namesakethread I have limited this "habitation area" to an age and error of Aggasiz (in my own mind at least). I hope to be able to explain this better, on these other threads, at a latter time. Nonetheless I do believe we at EVC HAVE been able to diminish this extent to less than the universe. So no, I would not say "turtles all the way down".

1. No. You are saying you believe, but in fact, you don't believe, you are just saying it - you want me to look like that... later in this post I'll show you very simple proof it is not so.
2.You could read all sources of information, each book in this world, you could think you know everything, but it doesn't really matter, the most important thing is that you can't fool the fact. Even the most simple fact. (a creation of an information - explained later) You can't fool the truth.
3. Supernatural entity. You know what "supernatural" means for a man? It means something he has never seen, something he can't describe how it looks and works (eg thing, effect, entity). If anybody mentions "supernatural" thing, effect or entity, it doesn't really mean it doesn't exist... it could!
Example -> Imagine you and your friend live whole life in a box, you (your mind) and his one have never seen anything else just box (4 walls) and a human body. Nothing else. Now your friend tells you he believes there must be something more, something more complex than this world (box), he says "I believe in it". [btw, he is right, there is something more complex.] That's perfectly logical your friend can't decribe how that "something" looks like because he has never seen it, he can't even give you a proof it does exist because of that. He just believes in it.
Explanation -> A box is a world you live in now. If somebody tells you that he believes there is something more, you are just blind, you don't believe it, your explanations and thoughts are based only on things and effects you have ever seen in the "box" -> in this world. That's perfectly logical that your friend is not able to describe how it looks like "outside", he can't describe you trees, cars, houses, animals simply because he has no idea about it. You call it "supernatural" in that case (and maybe you are laughing a bit at the time he is saying he believes in "that"). The truth is, in fact, it does exist. And you can apply this example to any kind of effect or entity as well. Even Casimir effect (will be mentioned later) is in the "box" so if you think a research can find out how the information was created, you think wrong (because it is already known fact -> mentioned later) - and this is the point where everything stops for you and your theory.
It would be great to see you, you understand. I think it is very nice and clear example for everybody.

It is not fantasy, it is observation. I notice that you still refuse to address the Casimir effect where antimatter and matter spontaneously appear and then anhialate one another. We observe "Little Bangs" all of the time. It is a property of the universe, creating information from energy.
Well, as I said... It creates energy, it creates meaningful information... What you described is NOT an accident. In fact, the answer to your example is again the same (and always will be) - you used an information to create information once again although you (probably) don't see it. Explanation:
You are using Casimir effect, in fact you can use whatever effect you like, the most important thing is "matter and antimatter". In fact, a matter is information itself. A matter couldn't just appear. (btw, you Casimir effect with "matter and antimatter" example is just your fantasy, nonsense, nothing more, but it doesn't matter now really) So you wanna proof?
Accident:
1. By accident can be created something meaningless or meaningful [for existing intelligence (entity)]. (see 2)
2. If there is created something meaningful by accident, only an existing intelligence or a program created by intelligence [which is able to understand such thing created by accident] (or something that uses such program) can use it or understand what it is.
Information:
1. By information can be created something meaningless or meaningful [for existing intelligence (entity)] information, program. (see 2)
2. The information can be created only by existing intelligence or by a program created by intelligece (or something that uses such program).
Everything mentioned are logical facts.
And this is clear proof that information can't create itself by accident! As it is all against the logic. There is absolutely no way you can proove the fact is not a fact using the same fact.
As I said, you can't fool the fact. The fact is that information is always created by information. There is absolutely no way the information can create itself by accident from nothing. And if I say nothing, I mean nothing.
So... you (evolution) are saying that a life was created from non-living material by accident. But
a) it is prooved that non-living things can't understand what they did by accident because an itelligence is missing.
b) it is prooved that if we want a non-living material to create something meaningful (for us) it is always needed an intelligence to create a program for this non-living thing so it can create something meaningful (for us).
So this part was about cosmology and abiogensis problem really, I know. So this together with example in the first answer in this post is 1st part called: A proof that God exists. (word "God" means 'existing intelligence', or 'existing entity', if you like)
Now that gives you 2 options - a) to believe in God or b) to believe in God and Theory of Evolution as well. But there is also 2nd part....
quote:
With this example it can be done house full of nice furniture (mentioned before) instead of universe.
Other than human construction, there is no natural mechanism for creating a house. However, there is a natural mechanism for creating information. The two are not comparable.
As shown above, there is no natural mechanism for creating information (not using another information) by accident, sorry. You just can't understand the fact... or (and I think this is the case) you don't want to understand it as this is a pillar point of your theory. But as I said at the beginning of my post -> there is absolutely no way you can fool the fact. You can't fool the truth.
quote:
Other than human construction, there is no natural mechanism for creating a house
So... now, when I've explained everything clearly, tell me what's the difference between house and a planet Earth.
Then as I mentioned before there is also 2nd part - called: A proof that evolution itself is nonsense. Explained in the next post (a reply to Pink...)

Well, you certainly didn't prove much so far.
Evolution deals with the origin of Species. It has nothing to do with the origin of life.

Let's make sure the topic remains on "Proof against Evolution" and not on abiogenesis which belongs in the Origins of Life forum
edited to admit to brain death...this IS the Origin of Life forum. So the actual issue from the OP is abiogenesis.
My apologies.

Re: turtles all the way down?
Before reading this post, please read my last reply to Loudmouth (Message 425).

As already prooved it's sure, information is created only by information -> there is absolutely no way it could create itself by accident... that's the prooved fact. (See a reply to Loudmouth - msg 425). And as I said, you can't fool a fact. What does this mean?
Before any process of non-living material can happen, information must be given only by some intelligence (as already prooved) [I'll call it God]
So if information is created by information (as prooved) that means:
information => an atom
information => a bacteria
information => DNA code
information => a cell
information => life
Without information there can't be created information by accident as said before. That means also that a cell exists just because of information. GOT IT? That information is called DNA code actually. But that's the big problem for your theory... DNA code (information) can't be created by accident without another information (in this example it is a cell - yes it is!!!) .... and... a cell can't be created by accident without already existing information (in this example it is a DNA code - yes it is!!!) ....so as I said this is a point where whole theory just stops!!!
Without DNA code there is no cell = without a cell there is no DNA code.
Without DNA code there is no vision = without vision there is no DNA code for vision created !
etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc
It is also a logical fact that there can't be done any research about thing to find out how it was created by accident when it is already prooved that it can't be created by accident!
And that means (also according to proofs mentioned in a reply to Loudmouth) all you are doing is, that you are using intelligence - God to create such thing as DNA code, vision etc etc!!! In other way Theory of evolution says God created a man !!! and in other way Theory of evolution is lying that God didn't do that ! ! !.... because that's prooved that information can't create itself by accident - so DNA code can't create itself by accident. UNDERSTOOD? And this is called A proof that evolution is just a fiction, that it is nonsense.
I tried to explain it in 100 posts but I think now it is very clear.
So we can ask how were created eg natural laws such as gravitation. Yes, as prooved in many posts before, somebody had to give an information...somebody had to say so.
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. [Genesis 1:3]

AdminAsgara,
So then it is now okay to address the abiogeneesis issues the he is using? As far as I understand it he is claiming to disprove ToE based on a proof that abiogenesis is not possible unless God does it. That is his claim but he doesn't seem to understand abiogenesis any more than he does ToE, but it seems we need to address his distorted notions about pre cellular self replicating molecules. Or maybe not.
sigh,

I think it is within the purview of the topic to attempt to show him that proof for or against abiogenesis does not constitute proof for or against evolution. I believe (without rereading the entire thread) that this thread meandered back and forth anyway, so ignore my brain dead comments.

No. A reply to Loudmouth was just "by-the-way"-thing ...to show you also second part (existence of God). You can ignore everything about abiogenesis.
The most important is this:
quote:
Accident:
1. By accident can be created something meaningless or meaningful [for existing intelligence (entity)]. (see 2)
2. If there is created something meaningful by accident, only an existing intelligence or a program created by intelligence [which is able to understand such thing created by accident] (or something that uses such program) can use it or understand what it is.
Information:
1. By information can be created something meaningless or meaningful [for existing intelligence (entity)] information, program. (see 2)
2. The information can be created only by existing intelligence or by a program created by intelligece (or something that uses such program).
Everything mentioned are logical facts.
And then continue reading a part about DNA code, of course

Re: turtles all the way down?
And I have to say to you -> Many times I tried to explain to these "many people" that the theory of evolution does deal with the creation of the initial information. Information=life ...simple as that. But you probably still don't understand (or don't want to),
"Information = life" I don't understand. I thought when we were talking about life we were talking about bacteria, plants, and animals. You aren't talking about living replicating organisms, complex molecular interactions?
let me explain...
As already prooved it's sure, information is created only by information
"information is created only be information" so you ARE saying it's turtles all the way down. An infinite regress of information creating information and information to create that information and ... ad infinitum.

No. You don't want to understand. So I'll translate it:

intelligence is needed to create => an atom
intelligence is needed to create => a bacteria
intelligence is needed to create => DNA code

intelligence is needed to create => life
Without intelligence there can't be created DNA code by accident as said before. That means also that a cell exists just because of DNA code. GOT IT? But that's the big problem for your theory...

Re: turtles all the way down?
Atoms and molecules are found naturally in the universe. The theory of abiogenesis is generating experiments that show under what conditions organic molecules arise from simpler compounds. Certain of these molecules can act as templates and replicate themselves. There is still a lot of work to be done. My point is that as of today abiogenesis has neither been proved or disproved.
But the properties we see of the cells are chemical properties. Lipids act to form spherical structures in water because of the way the different ends of the lipid molecule are attracted by or repulsed by water molecules.
You have not proved anything. You've made an interesting argument that information is needed to build large molecular cells. But you've not proven it and therefore have not disproved the theory of evolution.
I understand your objection. And information may yet be found to in some way play an important role in the universe or not. That you are confident in your beliefs does not constitute proof.
