Dembski: Building a Better Definition of Intelligent Design

Thank you Gil for making that admission.

As we do not know the probability distribution of such events as the existence of cells, bacterial flagella, etc, etc, it would appear that Specified Complexity has nothing to say about Evolution, or Biology more generally.

SC, even if somebody could demonstrate that subtracting Kolmogorov Information from Shannon information had any real-world meaning (see Matthew Pocock’s comment in this post), we are left with something that doesn’t appear to have any utility beyond entertaining your friend Peter, and similar meaningless examples.
