The Case for Intelligent Evolution What Language and Communication Theory Says About Naturalism, Darwinism, and the Origin of Species ©2005 Perry Marshall, www.CosmicF Most arguments about evolution and intelligent design offer only anecdotal evidence and are inherently incapable of actually proving anything. We must get better evidence in order to get to the bottom of this! Fortunately, the science of modern communications easily provides us with the tools we need to get answers. Although the details are complex, the concepts are easily grasped by anyone with a high school education. This paper considers self-organization in nature and defines the difference between patterns and codes. It discusses the nature and origin of coded information, based on Information Theory, then extends the discussion from the origin of DNA to possibilities of Darwinian Evolution. Order in Nature: Patterns vs. Designs Nature has self-organizing properties. Rivers, waterfalls, sand dunes, tornados, hurricanes, weather and snowflakes all happen with no intervention from an intelligent designer. Can self organizing properties also produce DNA and life forms? That is the question. Not all patterns are designed, but all designs contain patterns.
