1 Life and Information Dr. Heinz Lycklama Dr. Heinz Lycklama 1
2 Biblical View of Life Gen. 1:11-12, 21, 24-25, herb that yields seed according to its kind,, beast of the earth according to its kind. Indicates stability of different kinds Biogenesis, each producing after its own kind [used 10 Dr. Heinz Lycklama 2
3 Evolution s View of Life Related through common ancestry Arose through mutations and natural selection By means of random chance processes of nature Spontaneous generation (abiogenesis) has never been observed or shown to be possible Redi in 1688, Spallanzani in 1780 Pasteur in 1860, Virchow in Dr. Heinz Lycklama 3
4 Life and Information 1. Chance, Necessity (Law) or Design? 2. Presuppositions & Information 3. The Nature of Information 4. The Nature of Machines 5. The Nature of Programs 6. Life: Information, Complexity, Design 7. Mathematical Probability 8. Life From Non-life By Chance? 9. In Dr. Heinz Lycklama 4
5 1. Chance, Necessity (Law) or Dr. Heinz Lycklama 5
6 Chance, Necessity or Design? Scratches on cave wall Human genome 3B Base Pairs 75T Dr. Heinz Lycklama 6
7 The Evolutionists Response? Even if all the data point to an intelligent designer, such a hypothesis is excluded from science because it is not naturalistic. S.C. Todd, Kansas State University Professor Biology is the study of complicated things that have the appearance of having been designed for a purpose. Richard Dawkins, Oxford Univ. Atheist Biologist Biologists must constantly keep in mind that what they see was not designed, but rather evolved. Francis Crick, Co-discoverer of Dr. Heinz Lycklama 7
8 2. Presuppositions & Information Evolution presupposition The universe consists of only two material entities mass and energy Creation presupposition A 3 rd non-material entity information Life consists of: Mass + energy (material) + information (non-material) Information is encoded in the DNA of all plant and animal cells Information has four parts: Code, meaning, action, Dr. Heinz Lycklama 8
9 3. The Nature of Dr. Heinz Lycklama 9
10 Information Definitions Information attributes: Code (syntax): alphabet, DNA (ATCG) Meaning (semantics): words, codons Expected Action (pragmatics) Intended Purpose (apobetics): design, result All structural attributes are non-material Information is an encoded, symbolically represented message conveying expected action and intended Dr. Heinz Lycklama 10
11 Information in Writing Information requires: Code: letters, numbers, etc. Meaning: words Action: sentence with verb Purpose: result, design Complex but unspecified neojct oheeoh otvp ct mo muj Specified Complexity the cow jumped over the Dr. Heinz Lycklama 11
12 Information in Dr. Heinz Lycklama 12
13 Information in Living Dr. Heinz Lycklama 13
14 4. The Nature of Dr. Heinz Lycklama 14
15 Molecular Machines, e.g. Motors Behe showed that the cell, Darwin s Black Box, is filled with Irreducibly Complex (all parts functional) molecular machines that could not be built by natural selection Over 100 molecular motors are now known to exist inside the cell with very specific analogies to human designed Dr. Heinz Lycklama 15
16 5. The Nature of Dr. Heinz Lycklama 16
17 Programs in the Cell Human DNA is like a computer program but far, far more advanced than any software we ve ever created. Bill Gates, Dr. Heinz Lycklama 17
18 6. Life: Information, Complexity, Design Information in living systems DNA: base pairs (AT, CG), codons, 20 left-handed amino acids Biological systems exhibit Specified Complexity and use Irreducibly Complex (all parts) subsystems Naturalistic mechanisms or undirected causes do not suffice to explain origin of Complexity Intelligent Design constitutes the best explanation for the origin of specified complexity and irreducible complexity in biological Dr. Heinz Lycklama 18
![More on Information in Life Code: 4 letters adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), thymine (T) Words (codons) composed of 3 letters Meaning: each 3-letter word represents 1 of the 20 [left-handed]](/docs-images/82/86216016/images/19-0.jpg "amino acids necessary for protein formation Sequence of codons in the DNA represents sequence of amino acids in a protein Action: proteins needed for construction, function, maintenance, reproduction")
19 More on Information in Life Code: 4 letters adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), thymine (T) Words (codons) composed of 3 letters Meaning: each 3-letter word represents 1 of the 20 [left-handed] amino acids necessary for protein formation Sequence of codons in the DNA represents sequence of amino acids in a protein Action: proteins needed for construction, function, maintenance, reproduction of the organism and its cellular components Purpose: reproduction of Dr. Heinz Lycklama 19
20 Complexity of the Cell Average human body contains 75+ trillion Dr. Heinz Lycklama 20
21 Start Highly probable? William Dembski s Explanatory Filter Yes Law No Intermediate probability? No Yes Chance Specified/ Small probability? Yes Design No Chance From Mere Creation: Science, Faith and Intelligent Design. William A. Dembski Ed. Downers Grove, Illinois: InterVarsity Press, Dr. Heinz Lycklama 21
22 Evidence for Design in Life Biology: the presence of complex and functionally integrated machines has cast doubt on Darwinian mechanisms of self-assembly Molecular biology: the presence of information encoded along the DNA molecule has suggested the activity of a prior designing intelligence Harvard biologist Richard Lewontin urges scientists to embrace a "materialism [that] is absolute" and to stick with "material explanations, no matter how counter Dr. Heinz Lycklama 22
23 7. Mathematical Probability Chances of getting all heads in a row when flipping a coin? 1 head 2 heads in a row 3 heads in a row 10 heads in a row 100 heads in a row 1000 heads in a row 1 in 2 (½) 1 in 4 (½ * ½) 1 in 8 (½ * ½ * ½) 1 in 2 10 (1024) or in or in or Law of Probability: < 1 in is mathematically Dr. Heinz Lycklama 23
24 8. Life From Non-Life By Chance? What is the probability that an explosion in a junk yard would create a car? What is the probability of creating a Boeing airplane (5M non-flying parts) from such an explosion? What is the probability that 200 monkeys pawing away at a typewriter could write a Shakespearean play? What is the probability of a protein coming into being by Dr. Heinz Lycklama 24
25 Amino acids Proteins and Amino Acids A few thousand types Right- and left-handed Proteins - the building blocks of life Large organic molecule Contain 100 s to a few 1000 amino acids Specified long sequences of amino acids Contain 20 different left-handed amino acids Crucial protein fact Absence, addition, or replacement of a single amino acid in the structure of a protein causes protein to be Dr. Heinz Lycklama 25
26 Probability of Forming one Protein Take 200 parts and line them up in a specific order 200! ways of aligning these parts = Try a new alignment 1 billion times a second Assuming 20 billion years of time, we have 20 * seconds The probability of finding the right alignment is practically zero, i.e. 1 in Only atoms in the whole universe Anything less than 1 in is regarded as zero probability Living organisms contain many more than 200 parts Human being contains 75+ trillion Dr. Heinz Lycklama 26
27 How Simple Can Life Be? Smallest bacteria 482 genes 600 types of proteins 580,000 DNA base pairs (letters) Probability of chance formation is zero! Human genome 25,000 genes 100,000+ types of proteins 3,000,000,000 DNA base Dr. Heinz Lycklama 27
28 Probability & Life A single protein: 1 in amino acids A single cell: 1 in 10 40,000 Spontaneous formation of life Atoms in the universe: Law of Probability: 1 in 10 Dr. Heinz Lycklama 28
29 Living Matter and Information It s a shame that there are precious few hard facts when it comes to the origin of life. We have a rough idea when it began on Earth, and some interesting theories about where, but the how part has everybody stumped. Nobody knows how a mixture of lifeless chemicals spontaneously organized themselves into the first living cell. Paul Davies, Australian astrobiologist [Evolutionist] There is no known law of nature, no known process and no known sequence of events which can cause information to originate by itself in matter. Werner Gitt, German information scientist Dr. Heinz Lycklama 29
30 9. In Conclusion Life = mass + energy (material) + information (non-material) Life requires: Information stored in DNA Machines (storage + programming) Programs, e.g. replication Complexity: Irreducible (all parts) & Specified (meaning) Design ---> a Designer Life from non-life? NOT by chance! Proven by scientific experiments Mathematically Dr. Heinz Lycklama 30
