QC: Design can be the Occam's razor cause-and-effect best answer for the scientific evidence found in creation.
The "principle of design" (artifacts, code, instructions, etc.) is the criteria SETI uses as it searches for intelligence in outer space.
Design has nothing with religion.
This broadly fall within my area of research. Just to make it clear, there exist no "principle of design" in science which applies to artifacts, codes, etc.
I assume this is an of-the-hand reference to dembskis work. I have actually read Dembskis articles, it is not hard to do from a mathematical perspective, one just have to be aware dembskis is a shit scientific writer and has a habit of defining terms in one way and using them in another way later on. I claim the main assertings made by dembski (and more often, his uninformed proponents) about the ability to "infer design" are trivially wrong, and that much is obvious by simply reading what he write.
To this day i have never met a person who at the same time (1) understood Dembskis writing and the relevant scientific litterature (shannon, etc.) (2) thought dembski was right.
If you think you fall in both categories, do explain yourself. if you only belong to one, well....
