> DAVID: Yes, but the information in a crystal is not the same as the information in a living one-celled organism. Where did that living coded information come from? I know you can't answer, because you will not accept the logical source, a mind.

> dhw: All forms of life and non-life are full of information. I was merely pointing out that the information is there, whether the materials were assembled by chance or not. Where did anything and everything come from? None of us can answer, and a sourceless, living mind full of information is no more logical than sourceless, mindless energy and matter full of information.-You are simply skirting the question. Living matter is filled with the information that makes organic molecules cooperate to create life. Your answer implies that chance could have created that information. Information is something which cannot come from nothing.
