Oh, enver responded to this… Two issues…
I’m guessing that since Meyer was a famous proponent of intelligent design (even at the time when the book was written?), it ought not to have been so easily assumed that Meyer would have accepted it.
More significantly, though, anyone remotely aware of the science involved should know that there is a WORLD of different between the hypothesis that significant new complex information could arise within a system that already has an underlying information processing system, and wherein there is an active mechanism to introduce new, small, step-wise modifications that could conceivably be selected and aggregate to achieve such new information…
and the hypothesis that a massive amount of brand-new complex information as required to construct the very information processing system itself somehow popped into existence without any mechanism to slowly introduce this information in a small, step-by-step process.
Again, meaning no disrespect, but the fact that someone could so easily conflate the two, “Well, if you believe the former, why not believe the latter…?” is itself extremely revealing to me… if someone honestly can’t recognize just how different these two concepts are… again, it appears to this observer someone who is so committed to the conclusion they want to reach that they simply can’t see obvious and rather apparant difficulties or major categorical difficulties. In any other context, I hope I would never make such an obvious false analogy.
