Irreducible Intelligence: The Ultimate Origin of Biological Information

from Intelligent Design the Future · host Discovery Institute

What is the ultimate origin of the information that powers life and the universe?

On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid concludes his four-part conversation with mathematician and philosopher Dr. William Dembski about his work on the law of conservation of information and how it can help us critically evaluate scientific theories of origins. In this final segment, Dembski explains the ultimate origin of information: what he calls irreducible intelligence. Don't miss other segments of this conversation in separate episodes! Source
