Just been reading recently an article about Information being the key to life. It basically shows that information is a non material entity. Information in the cells of say a human body can be transmitted (as in reproduction) but the information does not reside in the chemical properties of the matter that carries it, just as the message on a piece of paper is unrelated to the properties of ink and paper.
Werner Gitt in his brilliant book 'In the Beginning was Information' quotes a scientist known as Claude Shannon saying 'There in no known natural law through which matter can give rise to information, neither is any physical process or material phenomenon known that can do this'(Shannon's Theorem 23). The only logical premise is that information is not a material property but a mental property. The idea of evolution therefore is ridiculous and insane. It is not logical and is a religious view that is scientifically unsound.
This brings to my mind a good quote - I can't remember who the quote was from but it was someone extending the famous Einstein quote by saying ' God does not play dice, He plays scrabble '
Also i have really enjoyed Neal Morse's 'One' cd. After only a few days it is a classic.
The first new issue of Heaven's Metal arrived a few days ago. Glad it's back. First time in 10 years. Even as a short fanzine it's much better than the boring HM magazine.
