Jojo I think that your statement that no random process can increase the information content of a system is too broad. The formation of a crystal from a vat of molten material seems to be a system that takes the random motion of the hot atoms as its input and then a directing force leads to the final crystal structure. Entropy is increased for the overall system by the release of heat of fusion, but the local region becomes less random.
With this type of process in mind, I think that the choice of system boundaries become critical.

Darwin did not know about DNA, genes, cell structures, RNA and others. Had he known the structure of DNA for instance, he would have concluded that slow random mutation can not explain the existence of DNA. Why, because random mutation can not explain the existence of "Information" within our DNA. There is no random process that will result in an arrangement that increases the Information Content of a system. Random processes results in entrophy, and entrophy is the opposite of Information and order. But I am getting ahead of myself. I will discuss DNA information in a future post. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Terry Blanton" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 03, 2012 8:45 PM Subject: Re: [Vo]:The Fallacies of Darwinian Evolution - Basic Definitions > Recent discoveries show that Darwin's ideas were an over > simplification of genetics: > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigenetics > > http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/tvradio/programmes/horizon/ghostgenes.shtml > > T > >
