measuring information
confidence writes:
The theory states that as long as the contents have information, defined by semantics, syntax etc. we can measure how much.
Many creationists seem to have this view that the original "kinds" had a greater number of genes than do modern-day animals, and that the specialization of modern-day species is the result of a gradual loss of extraneous genes.
Would you agree with this position, and hence agree that some measure of genome size would be a measure of "information content"?
Or do you have some alternative way of measuring information content?
Thanks
Mick
