[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Information is transferred between two particles that are in a state of quantum entanglement.  This is instantaneous information exchange not mediated by a force.  It can occur at any distance.

Quantum mechanics really does challenge whether out ability to reason through analogies to real life experience is useful at all, doesn't it?  [/quote]

Yes, this one even stumped Einstein.

It is ironic that information theory is a critical component of cosmology, and yet somehow it is being used as a defense of theism.  The problem is that lay people cannot readily conceive of information beyond what is commonplace.

At the same time, it is also ironic that the genetic code is being used by theists to prove an intelligent creator.  There are plenty of experiments in which the RNA process steps  have been generated out of real world conditions, applying no specific intelligence.  The question is not whether it can be done, but how it was specifically done in our case (life on earth) and what the probability is given earth-like conditions.  But when the papers are posted, none of the theists know how to read them so they ignore them.[/quote]

Well, also that there is no incentive whatsoever for them to do so.  I can say as a non-theist, if there were a compelling paper written tomorrow that gave evidence of the God hypothesis, I'd be excited as hell.  Obviously, that's not the case for a believer--they're only concerned for evidence that supports their existing beliefs.

"Epistemic closure" in its purest form.[/quote]
