WK,
6. No information chain can exist without a mental origin.
7. No information can exist without an initial mental source; that is, information is, by its nature, a mental and not a material quantity.
8. No information can exist without a will.
If the above assumptions can't be demonstrated, then ID'ists can't say with any certainty that genetic information exists at all in genetic systems.
In this, they find themselves making a circular argument. In order to infer ID based on information existing in DNA etc. they need to show that information exists in genetic systems. They can't do this without assuming their conclusion.
4. No information can exist in purely statistical processes.
Given that new functional genes have been observed to evolve via "statistical" processes, it therefore follows that those genes contain no information.
Silly ID'ists.
