Can't ID be tested AT ALL?

In your first post you analogy of Chip v Cell was all about pure storage capacity. (How many copies of the Encyclopaedia Britannica an organism could store.)I’m assuming that Dawkins and, by quoting him, you take ”store’ to mean that if the base pairs could be arranged to code for text and pictures then there is enough base pairs in a human cell to code for the EB a few times over, more in other organisms.As we know to measure the size of a text in terms of bytes for computer storage that give a direct measurement in Giga or Tera Bytes for the ”theoretical’ storage capacity of any organism.If this storage concept is a valid measure of complexity then for ID purposes you will always be able to remove storage capacity. In these terms complexity will only be irreducible if the organism has zero storage capacity, but then of course it would not exist.This message has been edited by AdminJar, 04-30-2006 06:14 PM

Indeed. Observed IC, achieved through recorded Evolution events does not ID make! Quite the opposite infact.Edited by ohnhai, : added quote block (and sig)

The whole crux of the {ID} argument is that {ID} is defined as ”{IC} = ~{E}’ (Impossible through Evolution) thus if it is shown that ”{IC} = {E}’ (Can happen through Evolution) then {ID} has to be false.
