Scientific Community: Is this evidence for a creator?
I’m not saying it is, but I think it might be evidence for a creator: Information.
What is information? There are several definitions of information currently in use; however, each of these definitions are generally too broad. For example, one definition of information includes symbols with or without meaning, and another includes everything in its definition of information. Imagine sending a random symbols as smoke signals to your friend would Happy Birthday ever get sent to your mother on her birthday? In July 2006, a team of scientists representing various scientific disciplines met to evaluate a definition of information proposed by information scientist Dr. Werner Gitt, which is precise and corresponds very well to human languages and machine languages. The team proposed that this definition be called Universal Definition of Information (UDI) and agreed that there are four essential attributes that define it:
1.Code (syntax): Information within all communications systems contains a code. A code contains a set of symbols and rules for using letters, words, phrases, or symbols to represent something else. One reason for coding is to enable communication. Examples of codes would be the English Alphabet, words, and syntax; hieroglyphics; or codes used in computers (For example, C, Fortran, or Cobol).
2.Meaning (semantics): Meaning enables communication by representing real objects or concepts with specific symbols, words, or phrases. For example, the word chair is not the physical chair but represents it. Likewise, the name Bob is not the physical person but represents the real person. When words are associated with real objects or concepts, it gives the word meaning
3.Expected Action (pragmatics): Expected action conveys an implicit or explicit request or comment to perform a given task. For example, in the statement, Go to the grocery store and buy some chocolate chips, the expected action is that someone will go to the store. This does not mean the action will actually happen, but it is expected to happen.
4.Intended Purpose (apobetics): Intended purpose is the anticipated goal that can be achieved by the performance of the expected actions. For example, in the statement Go to the grocery store and buy some chocolate chips, the intended purpose might be to bake and eat chocolate chip cookies.
These four essential attributes specify the definition domain for information. A definition of information (Universal Definition of Information) was formulated by using these four attributes:
An encoded, symbolically represented message conveying
expected action and intended purpose.
Encoded Code
Symbolically represented message Meaning
Expected action Action
Intended purpose Purpose
Anything not containing all four attributes is not considered information by this Universal definition of Information (UDI).
Examples of entities that do contain Information (UDI):
The Bible
Newspaper
Hieroglyphics
Sheet Music
Mathematical formulas
Examples of entities that do not contain Information (UDI) (one of more of the attributes are missing).
A physical star: Lacks a code and lacks meaning because it does not represent something else; it is the physical object that the word star represents.
A physical snowflake: Lacks a code and lacks meaning because it does not represent something else; it is the physical object.
Random sequence of letters: Has a symbol set, but lacks rules for words or grammar (no code). Since it is random, it has no meaning to any sequence of letters
A physical piano: Lacks meaning because it does not represent something else; it is the physical object.
The lowest level of operational science begins with ideas originated and formulated by man. These include models, hypotheses, theories, assumptions, speculations, etc. This is the lowest level of scientific certainty because man’s understanding of reality is incomplete, faulty, and constantly changing. A very large gap exists between this level of science and the highest level. This highest level contains scientific laws.
Scientific laws are precise statements formulated from discoveries made through observations and experiments that have been repeatedly verified and never contradicted. There are scientific laws about matter (Newton’s law of gravity, laws of thermodynamics, laws of electricity, and laws of magnetism(. There is Pasteur’s law about life (law of biogenesis).
Each of these laws if universal with no known exceptions. Scientific evidence that supports or refutes a scientific concept determines its level of certainty.
The information team evaluated scientific laws about information formulated by Dr. Werner Gitt that determine that nature and origin of information [UDI].

where can I find summary for this ?!

Nope….and you really don’t get the second law at all. If you pump energy into a system it ends up more ordered. That’s how it works and what it says.
Just an FYI: most of Newton’s work has been replaced by General Relativity. If you want to try to sound intelligent you ought to at least be within fifty years of modern science.

All you’re saying is manmade codes have meaning to man. Yet you refute your own point by saying a snowflake is meaningless. If everything that hasn’t been made by man is meaningless, it refutes the idea of a creator.
