    Intelligent Design: Is DNA Reshuffling Truly Evidence Against Evolution?

    Agreed. I don't know. I will ask tomorrow. Thanks for your help.

    Intelligent Design: Is DNA Reshuffling Truly Evidence Against Evolution?

    I TOTALLY get your argument. But do we have examples of DNA increasing the base pairs. Also--I can already see this question coming--what was the process that allowed DNA to evolve.

    Intelligent Design: Is DNA Reshuffling Truly Evidence Against Evolution?

    Going back to the book analogy mentioned above--let's say you have 1000 letters. Has the number of letters actually increased. For example---1000 letters become 1100. I explained that the dictionary has more information than the same number of random letters--and he understood that. So I...

    Intelligent Design: Is DNA Reshuffling Truly Evidence Against Evolution?

    Right. I think he means that an increase from say 10 to 12 bits of information. I think he is referring to quantity. I don't think he is concerned with the complexity of the information. I have a physics degree so I handled the 2nd law of thermodynamics!

    Intelligent Design: Is DNA Reshuffling Truly Evidence Against Evolution?

    Hey all--I am a high school physics teacher, A student asked me a question about the fact that DNA does not increase the amount of information in the strand--the information is just reshuffled. I have searched and I have read many people saying this is inaccurate but nobody gives any specific...

    Is the collapse of the wavefunction in entangled particles instantaneous?

    I am familiar with Bell's inequality, and I don't believe that what I've put forward is inconsistent with his theorem. I do not postulate that my interpretation of the underlying mechanism responsible for the observed behavior of entangled states should have any effect on the measurements that...

    Is the collapse of the wavefunction in entangled particles instantaneous?

    A friend asked me this question and I don't have an answer for him: So, we have two particles originating from a common source and traveling entangled in opposite directions and obeying conservation of momentum. After some time the two particles are a fair distance apart. We then make a...
