Hi teen4christ,
Could you elaborate on how prions and elements inside stars would qualify as having or being digital information? This would be relevant to what Seth Lloyd said about digital information in the subject document.

Re: Digital or what?
HM, the subject of this thread is the .pdf I mentioned in the OP.
You need to stick to the topic.
If you'd like to start a "DNA and Its Relationship to Prions and the Stars" thread, you are welcome to do so.
To discuss that relationship here is OT.

Re: Digital or what?
Jesus Christ, molbio, the guy just started posting today and you're already throwing hand grenades at him. No wonder we don't have very many creos here. Only the ones that can dodge your bullets can enter the door without having their brains splashed everywhere.

Oh well if you go to war without your Kevlar you cannot be bitching about the shrapnel wounds.

Sorry for the confusion. I was speaking about the creationists Taz thought you were shredding. I thought that they would be best advised that if they wish to go to war with you they had best be prepared.
