The meta-information challenge
We need to get past the naïve idea that we understand the genome because we know the sequence of a linear string of DNA. In fact, all we know is the first dimension out of at least four in which the genome operates (1: the one-dimensional, linear string of letters; 2: the two-dimensional interactions of one part of the string with another, directly or through RNA and protein proxies; 3: the three-dimensional spatial structure of the DNA within the nucleus; and 4: changes to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd dimensions over time). There is a tremendous amount of information packed into that genome that we have not figured out, including multiple simultaneously-overlapping codes.48 When discussing whether or not mutations can create new information, evolutionists routinely bring up an overly-simplistic view of mutation and then claim to have solved the problem while waving their hand over the real issue: the antagonism between ultra-complexity and random mutation.
If a four-dimensional genome is hard enough to grasp, there is also a huge amount of ‘meta-information’ in the genome. This is information about the information! This is the information that tells the cell how to maintain the information, how to fix it if it breaks, how to copy it, how to interpret what is there, how to use it, when to use it, and how to pass it on to the next generation. This is all coded in that linear string of letters and life could not exist without it. In fact, life was designed from a top-down perspective, apparently with the meta-information coming first. According to a brilliant paper by Alex Williams,49 for life to exist, organisms require a hierarchy of
1. Perfectly pure, single-molecule-specific biochemistry,
2. specially structured molecules,
3. functionally integrated molecular machines,
4.comprehensively regulated, information-driven metabolic functions, and
5. Inversely-causal meta-information
None of these levels can be obtained through natural processes, none can be predicted from the level below, and each is dependent on the level above. Meta-information is the top level of biological complexity and cannot be explained by naturalistic mechanisms, yet life cannot exist without it.50 Putting all other arguments for and against the rise of biological information aside, where did the meta-information, upon which all life depends, come from?
it wasn't written by me, it was written by the same PHD who wrote this:
I know it wasn't written by you, but if you post it as evidence against evolution you should at least understand it so that you can like me critically appraise it and see that it is horseshit.
Alex williams proposed these things? this guy?
http://creation.com/alexander-williamshate to break it to you bro, he isn't a PHD in shit, and his area of study has nothing to do with abiogenesis. This is pure stupidity, why am I even wasting my time. You are lost man, get a grip. This fucking guy even argues against the big bang (he is a PHD extraordinarie, going from physics to biology and back, crushing each theory with simple logic) and fossils, he wrote a book called the fossils say no! this guy isn't interested in truth, just confirmation for his backward views. This guy should have several nobel's.
What the fuck is meta-information? information about information? I suppose god is the source huh? wait, where did the meta information for god come from? nevermind, god is eternal and lives outside of time right?
