“I’m wondering if you know of any examples of logic gates used within life.”

It seems that a lot of the protein nanomachine assembly processes in the cell resemble production assembly control programs, with each step triggered by completion of the previous, all subject to additional feedback regulation. This isn’t in the form of a central digital computer and conventional software, but it is equivalent just the same. It is more like massive numbers of digital logic gates distributed throughout the cell, all designed to coordinate with each other in carrying out life processes.

Having been reading Edge of Evolution I found several descriptions of these sort of systems, like the assembly of the flagellum on pages 265-267.

Excellent. Thx.

I’ve found in your description EXACTLY what has been so far my experience of speaking in favour of ID with NDE supporters.
I am more and more sure that it’s not possible a fair discussion about.

I think they are realizing that they could lose in the future.

I’m wondering if you know of any examples of logic gates used within life.

Yes. In fact one example was blogged here by Dembski in March of 2006.

Look at any debate forum on evo vs ID. It’s always the same. The logic of Darwinists is appalling and their understanding of information systems is even worse – even amongst the computer science people among.

Just considering the present subject – how will they attempt to squirm out of the most obvious explanation? We all know the answer.

It doesn’t seem to matter to them how many such complex, obviously designed with a purpose, systems are found in living cells – their preconceived metaphysical concepts bring them to denial, hand waving and yet another just-so story or 2 or 3.

They never stop to really think about what they “believe” – just spew out whatever inane nonsense seems to come to their rescue of their precious theory in their minds.

They commit the same logical fallacies over and over ad infinitum ad nauseum But never see it.

And you can’t tell them! The responses are always the same – denial, insults, hand waving, double talk, just so stories and elephant hurling. Anything to get away from the truth.

The simplest reasoning escapes them.

Which is why I’ve come to the conclusion over the years that Darwinists/Atheists are immune to logic – it means nothing to them – they cannot see the obvious or reason out the simplest statements.

That’s one of the reasons why they cannot win in this controversy.

This sounds like the ID movement needs to campaign for “Digital Electronics for all” in the HS and introductory level College curriculum! (Time to end the dominance of IT training by user-interface manipulation and software-oriented instruction? At least, this would create a mass-base for understanding what design thinkers are thinking about . . .)

At least anyone getting a Ph.D. in biology needs to have a foundation in digital electronics. It shouldn’t take these guys too long to see the parallels. Maybe they’ll show us how to design more elaborate of electronic circuits by RM+NS.
