I would say that information still exists regardless of whether there is a sentient being to interpret it. TD
or a sentient being created it.

70A Growing Problem for Materialists
by Sea Breeze inthe famous double-slit experiment proves that light travels both in individual particles called photons and also as a mathematical probability wave.
matter itself exhibits this particle-wave duality which allows objects to exist in two different places at the same time, depending on whether of not you are looking (testing) at it.
scientists have recently been able to get molecules as large as 2000 atoms to exhibit this duality!.

Is the unified theory so compelling that it brings about its own existence?” st:
with the theory, of everything, that would be at the core of all natural laws, would have to come the power, energy the theatre to enact it.
In some form, the energy that was used to make the material universe must have carried instruction how ro shape it with it., or at least the limitation
You quoted Hawking. an earlier great authoritative thinker, A.E. at least in his allegaries talked as if " Der Alte" the "ancient one" was the source of the laws he tried to define. The laws, or preferably THE law, that govern the universe.
May be he gave up on that, or challenged a believer, when he wrote in 1915: "Where is the old Jehovah?", reacting to the carnage in the trenches. but
here we are being governed by these laws,

- Given that the universe has a finite age, why did the universe begin with time rather than in time? MFs
who says so? The universe started at a point in time and has been expanding, moving into the future ever since. That point in time is surrounded by infinite time, the first dimension of the 4.
we live in spacetime. before that was timespace
The interesting thing about all information now is, that it always arrived from the past, but we send it into the future. Thus,
we really do not know what is going on, because we see, hear everything as it was some time ago. Much information we receive about stars far away, we see it now, but they do not exist any more.
the universe might even absorb energy, information from the realm that it expands into, timespace, that existed before our beginning and always will.

a straw-man who apparently denies the existence of the non-material
cofty, since you seem to deny, disparage the existence of the non- material [information] are you calling yourself a straw man?
straw = without solid core, full of air
kidding aside, The "god of the gaps", hiding in the yet to be closed voids in our knowledge is alive and well. At least we we will, in narrowing it discover the works of a possible creator, shaper. and
as you have pointed out, he can be nothing as depicted in the old fairy tales.

the nature of 'information'. Your original sin is equivocation.
Cofty, please give us the benefit of the doubt, accept the broadest definition of information. so
would wisdom be information? I came upon this: Prov 8, "wisdom" existed before the creation of the material world. so it says.
I was trying to bolster Sea Breeze's fascination with waves, because it says somewhere in the scriptures that the Earth was brought forth like in birth pangs. You can see these "waves" printed out as they happen. or how about "brain waves" ? so:
recent images and articles confirm that the rings, precursors of planets, in accretion disks of new stars are the result of resonances, standing waves. Our solar system displays a 5 minutes, (.3 AU ) wavelength / frequency bsw.

Today s wt
by road to nowhere inquote from the introduction:.
some apparently claimed to have received a special, mystical knowledge from god.e but their teaching contradicted jesus’ message and encouraged selfishness and a lack of love.
so john calls these teachers antichrists, or those who teach against christ.

while paying lip service to the noble bereans, their play is to suffocate research, analysis, critical, truthful thinking.
eu truth is what is good for the otg, only lightly attached here and there to reality.
wt solution for those that see TATT, in position to free themselves> make them feel good

---unplanned and unintended happenstance --MF
Only wt adherents take it upon themselves to read the mind of their god all the time.
It is a valid question. The making of the universe, our solar system, the firing up of life, our functioning brains are certainly milestones we have not been able to replicate, even satisfactorily explain.
imho the creator has the wherewithal, and could have endowed the early beginning with all the embodied information that is needed to bring these events about in time. ***. Did he take a personal hand in abiogenesis for example?
If we never succeed to copy it, would be one way to find out.
*** one theory suggests that multiple universes came into existence, many, with flawed information flow or laws failed. Our"s exist and we, because by chance all went well here. Survival of the fittest ata cosmic scale.

The anointed are martyrs
by Listener ini didn't realize this watchtower teaching before but they teach that the anointed (which include the governing body die a sacrificial death.
fortunately, we have the governing body to explain that for us -watchtower 06 2/15 states.
the apostle paul later spoke of christians’ being “baptized into [christ’s] death.” (romans 6:3) the anointed live a life of sacrifice.

L: thank you for pulling those quotes together. the missing link in this scenario is, that according to John 6, it is the partaking that imparts the right to restored perfect life on earth, called everlasting life. It is this destiny that the anointed sacrifice. In other words partaking is really a prerogative of the Other Sheep, it should be they that keep and not sacrifice that destiny. ( jesus fed the emblems to people with an earthly hope, not anointed bsw).
Rev 20 adds another condition to rule with Christ for a 1000 years though, To be literally sacrificed with the axe. Just declaring your death as sacrificial, better than other demises just will not do., biblically. just trading everlasting life for immortality at your last breath?
How does wt writers think that all will eventually get everlasting life, the so-called OS, without feeding them the Bread and the Wine?
The memorial is supposed to stop being held at the outset of the great Tribulation, not into the 1000 year reign. will John 6 be declared null and void?

In one sense DNA contains information but that is nothing but a metaphor. In reality it is just chemicals doing their thing. C:
We know you like the life sciences, and DNA is a superb information carrier in it's structure. but are not all developments depending on the "structure" of their "preceding structures", so that it is the information that is passed along,survives temporarily, , while the previous carrier may not exist any more, have "passed on" in more sense then one. are not all things carriers of information, that can be extracted, not just photons, sound waves, dinosaur footprints?
is not the information there, embodied, whether it is "read" or not?

I didn't bold anything you F..ing idiot.
Are you trying to suggest that god the grand creator of the universe guided that huge asteroid MF:sorry, I added the bold as stated, to mark what I was referring to.
Waton: No, what I am saying, that the universe acts in such a way is so flexible, to come up with unexpected beneficial results, like fertilizing BC fishing grounds with carbon from Oregon forest fires. (food for plankton and thought.
newton was not referring in the "nudge" remark to catastrophes, but regularity.
I am imagining the "creator" as an entity so advanced, it can create out of co-eternal energy a totally self-creating universe or two, without having to tinker, or aim. It would not be farfetched to call it "father" which says it all. .
