    << Chris:
    But, further, as I showed in the rest of the post, random processes will,
    given time enough and a cumulative process such as I describe, *do*
    generate every *possible* string of information of a given length. This is
    not open to serious question, because it is too trivial to refute.

    Nelson:
    The key thing to ask is can natural processes produce CSI. Can natural
    selection/random mutation produce CSI from scratch. That is something
    evolution cannot do. Evolution works with things that are already lying
    around.
    >>

    That's of course an unsupported assertion. That evolution cannot lead to
    CSI.
    As Wesley Elsberry has shown this is an erroneous assertion.

    This is what I got:

    Nelson:
    This is a computation, nothing here is mentioned nor pointed out in nature
    that can produce CSI, this also requires forethought and algorithms.Nothing
    in nature is held up as "exhibit A".

    Nelson:
    Nothing here about CSI being produced in nature.

    Ditto.

    A web directory.
