[[Evolutionary selection: start with a bunch of golf balls in a certain area of the course and drop them. For each time you drop a set of balls, keep track of the best results from the set.]]

What are you ‘keeping track of’ the results with? and how do you know the results are goign to work with hte whole system?

Did you read the thread on ‘life’s irreducible structures’? Where did the metainfo come from that organizes all this? Simply changign somethign doesn’t cause metainfo to arise- nor would htrowing a whole bunch of golfballs at the situation. You are implying htere is soem sort of intelligent agent at work selecting out the right ‘descisions’, and hoping further right descisions mesh with hte previous ones until some sort of change occures.

The thread I spoke about asked for input as to why the 5 point heirarchal/metainfo hypothesis was wrong, but it got no responses, because in order for life ot exist, all 5 points, and hte metainfo that correlates everythign must be inplace first before any changes can take place- and nature ismply hasdn’t got an answer for the points or hte metainfo-

Mutations just point out how encessary this metainfo is quite frankly

The thread I mentioned, it was brought up whether piling info on info (via random mutaiton selection) could result in metainfo, and hte answer appears to be no for several reasons. The link I gave above, talks about htese hierarchal points by both ID science and Macroevolutionsits, and discusses whether or not metainfo needs to be inplace before any selection or changes could take place.

No, I missed the thread. I was responded to the one post in isolation...

I have now begun my heavy drinking to drown out the coronation.

Bushmill's Irish Whisky, cheap bourbon, peppermint schnapps...;-)

NO cheers, unfortunately.
