But what is the mechanism? Remember, the task is “bring a de novo protein into being”. What is the mechanism which does this? A mind is not a mechanism.
The actual mechanism is the issue. You are proposing that there is a mechanism, while being totally unable to even say what the mechanism is, let alone test it. This is not a scientific explanation of any kind.
I have a mind, so according to you I should be able to create a de novo protein, with my mind. Tell me how to do this. What do I do with my mind to bring a de novo protein into being?
Stop changing the subject. The subject is not “create information”, the subject is “create a de novo protein”. If you want to throw out your original claim that a mind can create a de novo protein, then do so explicitly, and acknowledge you have no explanation for how a de novo protein could come into being. But don’t bait and switch, making the claim that a mind can use an unidentified mechanism to create a de novo protein, and then switch that out for “a mind can create information”.
Is there any evidence whatsoever that minds can create de novo proteins? If so, present the evidence, describe the mechanism, and explain how you have tested it.
