Since I am a creationist of course I can't possibly have anything of value to say, and all I can say is it makes sense to me that a coding system couldn't have arisen by purely biological means.

"complex specified information" is a term in the English language understandable by English speakers. It means exactly what it says. It is not a mathematical term, nor does it "belong" to Dembski by virtue of his using it.
I have seen creationists use the words "complex specified information" many times, but I have never seen a definition that made me think, "oh, now I get it".
I know what "complex information" is, what is specified information? Specified how?
All you seem to be saying is, "complex specified information" means "complex specified information".
You assert that DNA contains "complex specified information", but all I see is molecules and chemistry. Is DNA the only kind of "complex specified information"?
It looks like "complex specified information" really means "dazzle them with bullshit".

Complex specified information is the measurement of a creationists incredulity as to the production of modern genomes through mutation and selection.
CSI really stands for Creationist Standard Incredulity.
Oh, now I get it!! Thanks.
