See, I’m starting to suspect more and more that the argument Eric makes is at the basic level simply the statement that “any order in nature is evidence of ID.” This is consonant with his statements in other threads that science is literally impossible assuming methodological naturalism. For Eric, even Newtonian mechanics was only possible using ID assumptions (i.e. non-MN):
The problem with this is that this reduces the ID argument to a purely philosophical one. Very different from what most ID proponents have been proposing. It would really just be a variant on the argument for God from the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics to model nature, or from fine-tuning. All the information theory is just window dressing.
I am hoping that the ID argument is more interesting than this.
