On Dembski’s Law of Conservation of Information

چکیده
Dembski’s “Law of Conservation of Information” is investigated using a more formal approach than is provided in his latest book “No Free Lunch”. It is concluded that the Law of Conservation of Information is mathematically unsubstantiated.

Information theory, evolutionary computation, and Dembski's "complex specified information"
Intelligent design advocate William Dembski has introduced a measure of information called “complex specified information”, or CSI. He claims that CSI is a reliable marker of design by intelligent agents. He puts forth a “Law of Conservation of Information” which states that chance and natural laws are incapable of generating CSI. In particular, CSI cannot be generated by evolutionary computati...
متن کاملOrder reduction and μ-conservation law for the non-isospectral KdV type equation a with variable-coefficients
The goal of this paper is to calculate of order reduction of the KdV typeequation and the non-isospectral KdV type equation using the μ-symmetrymethod. Moreover we obtain μ-conservation law of the non-isospectral KdVtype equation using the variational problem method.
متن کاملOn Black-Scholes equation; method of Heir-equations, nonlinear self-adjointness and conservation laws
In this paper, Heir-equations method is applied to investigate nonclassical symmetries and new solutions of the Black-Scholes equation. Nonlinear self-adjointness is proved and infinite number of conservation laws are computed by a new conservation laws theorem.
متن کاملThere is a free lunch after all
The title of William Dembski’s book No Free Lunch (Dembski 2002a) indicates that he perceives the no free lunch (NFL) theorems (Wolpert and Macready 1997) as pivotal to his thesis asserting that “specified complexity cannot be purchased without intelligence.” Indeed, many statements in Dembski’s book emphasize the crucial role of the NFL theorems. However, in his response (2002b) to a review re...
متن کاملConservation and sustainable exploitation of plant genetic rsources: International developments
Plant Genetic Resources (PGRs) are one of the most valuable natural resources of anycountry. Biotechnology through genetic engineering of plants and the creation of new plantvarieties can increase the value of these resources. Different technical and legalmechanisms such as ex situ/in situ collection of PGRs, and Intellectual Property Rights(IPRs...
