Dear Jerry, At the risk of being jailed by Pedro, let me point to the beauty of the example: >From a molecular biological perspective, the assertion of “same encoding” of >information is contrary to fact. OK: the coding of the information is species specific; both theoretically and

Dear Marcus and FIS Colleagues, You are right in your complaint. We have been saying very similar things concerning information generation--and also in your symbolic introduction of Darwin in your scheme concerning that series of complementary questions. Sorry for being so brief but I need
