ID never defines what it means to be ID'd. Dembski's assertion that
probabilities less than 10^-150 means it is designed is absolutely silly.
The probability that the molecules in my room are arranged exactly as they
are right now, is much less than 10^-150, yet we wouldn't claim that God
designed the ordering of the molecules in my room, would we??? If we did
that, then we are forced to the strong pre-determinism in which everything
is personally controlled and discharged by God--everything, including the
movement of molecules. There probably are those that would hold that
position, but why couldn't God create laws and delegate the governance of
molecules to those laws?
That's why they call it complex, SPECIFIED, information.
Do you always have to misrepresent others in order to try and shred their
arguments?
