Information Enigma: Where does information come from?
Video Overview & Insights
Information drives the development of life. But what is the source of that information? Could it have been produced by an unguided Darwinian evolutionary process? Or did it require intelligent design? The Information Enigma is a fascinating 21-minute documentary that probes the mystery of biological information, the challenge it poses to orthodox Darwinian theory, and the reason it points to intelligent design. The video features Dr. Stephen Meyer, and molecular biologist Douglas Axe, founder of the Biologic Institute. For more about intelligent design theory be sure to visit "Intelligent Design: The Definitive Source on Intelligent Design" at https://intelligentdesign.org/
This video is absolutely incredible. It is exceptionally well made and grounded in real scientific disciplines: genetics, combinatorial mathematics, and biochemistry. It is refreshing compared with the misleading, fragmented, and unscientific arguments so often presented in support of evolutionary theory.
Not only are the points made in this video rooted in fundamental scientific principles, but empirical research also supports the authors' position. To date, no one has ever observed even a bacterium acquiring an entirely new gene capable of performing a previously nonexistent biochemical function.
The few examples commonly cited by proponents of evolutionary theory involve genes that already existed but had been inactivated, repurposed, or had undergone degeneration—they are not examples of genuinely novel functional genetic information.
These examples rather demonstrate just how helpless evolutionists are and how they are left without any support from science.

Conversations with Douglas Axe: What is the Universal Design Intuition?
What is the spiritual meaning of the 7 days of creation, Genesis (Beresheet), the creation of heaven and earth, and day and night? Also, what happened on each of the days?
As with all the Bible stories, we will examine the 7 days of creation by understanding the language of roots and branches, and seeing how the story plays out in us individually, socially, and globally.

Science Uprising Episode 1 - Reality: Real vs. Material
Why did the Universe begin? as a result of an intelligent design, an infinite and absolute internal desire in God not to be alone. It is not a mechanistic start as scientists believe in a Big Bang, but it has a reason behind it. Universe started by God restricting Himself in the middle and making a void where the future creation would take place through several emanations..By serving others we do it for God and by doing so, we will find meaning in our lives and everything starts to make sense.

In case you could not watch this.
There is only one source for information. It is intelligence. The information in DNA must then come from an intelligent mind that existed before biology did

There's people who reduce information to particle arrangements of matter and their corresponding energy measurements, and I don't think they're right, because nowhere in this visible universe can you find the materialistic origin of the equation 2+2=4. I think information is some kind of intelligible layer to reality that God initially created, and man can observe and manipulate to an extent, as well as other spiritual beings. Information is what Plato's world of ideas is made of, perhaps.

Information is a measure of the degree of correlation in the states of two or more things. Information is everywhere throughout the physical world, existing independently of any intelligence.

Charles Lyell was NOT a geologist. He was a lawyer, a Scottish Rite Freemason, and a friend of Darwin. He had the financial talent. Darwin was actually a trained geologist, and it's very likely he wrote the book Lyell paid to publish under his own name, to provide Darwin a seemingly unbiased hypothesis of old earth, so Darwin could then publish his evolutionary book (likely paid for by Lyell). The books were popular (not scientific), written for a gullible, Victorian era public. The Freemasons promoted the books, and Freemasons in academia began presenting Lyell and Darwin's speculations as though it was "science". Darwin and Lyell were both debunked in their own lifetimes by real biologists and geologists, but the idea of social Darwinism caught on, despite all the problems with it. Part of the popularity had to do with new investment opportunities in weapons development, etc.

And what percentage of the proteins in a cell are only 150 amino acids in length? The vast majority of proteins are much longer than 150 amino acids—some more than 1000.

Creationist sophistry. Nature does not randomly select DNA sequences from all possible DNA sequences.

@YourmaththeacherInformation is fundamental...before you had stuff...anything...there had to be information... defining the ,,"stuff"
@mikewannenburg5907We can hypothesise that if information stops to exist then intelligence design becomes extinct evolution. If information is zero then intelligent design never existed like in space where information is vacant or not. In other words God is less present in space than on Earth where information is abandant.
@vasiliostheodorou4849If it’s mathematically impossible for random mutation to work, then why did they say it does why do they believe it?you can say we evolved we got simple complex. Our DNA is very similar to say chimpanzees, but how can you say random mutation is the mechanism it fails that’s not the mechanism. Anyone with common sense can see it’s not the mechanism Evolution from bacteria to advanced life is 10 to 200 power so it can’t be random mutation why did they say it’s random mutation? Can anybody explain that to me when there’s no evidence for it?
@MMAGUY13Role 20 dice...you get a sequence of numbers.
Tada you created information.
TOO MUCH MUSIC
@curtismohWOW!
@SomeSortofSomethingThis was very interesting to say the least. There is no theory that can explain the information enigma better than intelligent design. That "Intelligent design" is none other than God Himself.

How does microevolution like dog breeds get information? Doesn’t the Axe study imply that there are too many faulty amino acid sequences to eliminate in order to produce differences in dog traits?
@numericalcodeThe concept of information drives creationists crazy. They make a strawman out of it, vastly overcomplicating it, then demand an explanation for why it's so complicated.
But if information isn't complicated, then what's the simple explanation? Well, here it is:
The fundamental unit of information is ... <<< drum roll >>> ... difference. Any kind of difference qualifies -- size, mass, shape, color, texture, shade, hardness, velocity, location, etc. Where there are lots of differences, there's lots of information. Where there are few differences, there is correspondingly little information.
Rocks contain information that, when decoded, can reveal the rock's age. That information is there whether it's "decoded" or not. It may take intelligence to decode the information -- but it took no intelligence to put the information in the rock to begin with.
So, rather than information being this rare, spooky thing that only intelligence can create, it's actually incredibly abundant, literally everywhere we look, and so simple that it's an insult to God to claim that a God is necessary to create it.
Pretty much every creationist argument is built on just this kind of misunderstanding.
Not from Discovery Science, that's for sure.
@MrWeezer55Impressive number cranking here, and I will probably refer to it often down the road when I debate the issue (assuming anyone would ever be interested).
@kcsnow9447Self educated layman Bill Bryson authored "A Short History of Nearly Everything." Find that book and read just the first few pages of his chapter "The Rise of Life" up to the word "WOW! Bryson did not intend to prove Intelligent Design. In fact, I think he actually wanted to go the other way, but I still think he did. Mathematically too, as this video suggests here too.
@kcsnow9447Very good presentation.God bless you.Down with Darwinian hypothesis.Boble is the only hope you and me.
@ay5-indNice video overview about the odds of a protein self assembling amino acids by chance vs atoms in the Milky Way etc... Also, a study by the University of Toronto found that a typical mammalian cell contains about 42 million protein molecules. And further more, according to AI Bing... a "simple" bacteria (single cell of course) may have only a few hundred proteins, while others may have thousands. That all adds up to hundreds and thousands of impossibles needed to even get into the batters box without a bat.
@rongreene4039Baloney, information is not understood by nature or used by nature. Only humans generate it and has nothing to do with origins how nature functions in biology, science or cosmology. 🤔
@kenkoskinen1Information can only exist as a result of observation.
@christopherraymond592It’s because of science, like this, is why I believe in God, not necessarily any religion but in God.
@jamescannon7267So let me get this straight. We are watching an informative video on how information came into being? Anyone else see the dog is chasing the tail on the dog? Why didn’t they just wait and see if the video came on it’s own? I would put up a statement at the beginning saying. “Your reading this.” Than just show a Tom and Jerry cartoon.
@sawboneiomc8809Dr. Stephan's question about the source of biological information related to all animate creation is well explained in the first chapter of Genisis. The only source is Jehovah God, the creator of the awesome universe.
@ppvarghese7053❤❤super
@stibinsteephen789What you’re trying to explain to people is way beyond the average person understanding I can tell this is a religious base video I find it interesting but like I said in my other comment forever is a long time we can’t comprehend when you have eternity infinity anything could happen in space time is it has virtual particles but if you really want to know the truth take time to study quantum mechanics which deals with the building blocks of atoms and Houser constructed in the energy involved in the construction of the Adams it’s hard to explain it it’s such a short message I hope you take the time to study
@charlesdrury9712I think what this video does not understand is it forever is a long time infinity you could think of it like this it is as far back as it is forward when you have forever as your platelet Ele could happen specially if you read about quantum field theory that particles pop into existence virtual particle unless the person has a tremendous amount of knowledge of quantum mechanics field Siri evolution they could not explain how life arrived On earth I have been studying this for 40 years I have dedicated my life to getting the most information I could so I can put the puzzle together all I want is the truth
@charlesdrury9712I wouldn’t not discord origin of the species you could have read the Bible to your children it’s just as much as a fairytale to be someone who wrote the Bible not God but man wrote the Bible and they had no knowledge at all about biological processes
@charlesdrury9712What are the chances we can get official English subtitles to all Discovery Institute Videos? My students would benefit greatly! Thanks. Hire me? haha.
@lisagreif6808And people still deny even with proof like this.
@wolfking4879Good one!
Background music might have been eliminated or, if someone feels that necessary, much lower to make the voice intelligible.
So the design of life definitely could have come about from a long series of undirected accidents, it's just a lot more likely the product of a supremely intelligent agent. That's why it's been said it takes much more faith to be an atheist, than to simply believe in the creator God. Nice video.
@williamrice3052Very disappointing that in the end, this has all been about laying out some kind of case for Intelligent Design.
@jdrake41114:30 The probably of mutation has less to do with the population of a species, and more to do with the amount of atoms in a cell. Considering there are 100 trillion atoms in a cell, that is more than enough to brute force a new protein (100 trillion multiplied by 100 trillion every second for decades). Even if 99.99999% fail, it only takes 1 to succeed and then reproduce. The fact that the probability is so small is precisely because the opportunity is so huge. The rate of evolution has itself evolved with us.
@michaelbarry755I truly want to believe in god who heartedly and this starts my quest. I have struggled for years and I hope I can reconcile it because believing death is the final just doesn’t sit well with me. I don’t want to believe that’s it forever.
@bubbythebrow153Don't really know much about biology but here's a thing about information... The information for the correct combination for the 10 digit lock is actually encoded on the structure of the lock itself so it means that the code of information for the right combination already exists even if it's one in a billion..
