Re: Why 'IC' Is Irrelevant
Arach:
and even if they were, evolutionary algorithms routinely produce ic systems in computer simulations.
John Paul:
And that shows us that ID can get around IC. Afterall it takes ID to make the computer, the program and the parameters.
But even then, wouldn't the parallel just be that intelligence is behind the universe, and the physical laws therein, and not the actual evolutionary process?

Re: Why 'IC' Is relevant
Dan, ID says that intelligence (an intelligent agency) designed life. It does NOT say that the designer played any role in the evolutionary process.
Then what is the relevance of IC? If the evolutionary process doesn't require intelligence, I mean.
