>Looking at cosmology: where should biological information have been stored between the big bang and the origin of life? You explicitly included "biological systems" among the "basic entities" which God "from the beginning, when the creation was brought into being from nothing," gifted with all of the capacities needed (H.J. Van Till, "Special Creationism in Designer Clothing: A Response to 'The Creation Hypothesis'", PSCF 47 (1995): 123). The alternative option, that the information emerged spontaneously whenever needed, a concept for which there is no evidence whatsoever, is extremely unlikely.<
The spontaneous production of novel biological information occurs all the time with every mutation. Is there a threshold amount of information that you consider to exceed the abilities given to creation? How is this determined (both what the threshold is and whether it is met)?
