the 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!.
I have never referred to 'aliens' as a source of life on earth in my entire posting history. Please stop lumping everybody who disagrees with you into the same stereotype.
I have however described the latest research on abiogenesis many times.
You have STILL refused to address your basic confusion regarding the nature of 'information'. Your original sin is equivocation.

These sort of arguments for God depend entirely on obfuscation and equivocation.
What do you mean by god? You can pretend you only mean some unknown source of 'information' but really you are trying to open the door for the god of Jesus who worries about who we sleep with.
The more difficult it becomes to defend the god of the Bible the more theists want to retreat to the magical world of theoretical physics.

Waton - creationists use the word 'information' in a dishonest way. They equivocate, knowingly or otherwise.
In the technical sense of information no minds or sentient beings are required.
In one sense DNA contains information but that is nothing but a metaphor. In reality it is just chemicals doing their thing.

You are ignoring my reply because it gets to the core of your mistake.
The problem is you are equivocating about the word information.
In normal usage it involves one mind communicating data to another sentient being.
Then there is a technical sense if the word that is the subject of information theory.
You are making a category error. Until you address this you are doubling down in a basic error

I believe a materialist is one who upholds the credo of science - "If it cannot be measured it does not exist."
I've never encountered a single person who believes that. It is certainly not 'the credo if science'.

'Information' in this context is a metaphor. You are committing a category error.
Please define what you mean by 'materialists'. If you simply mean that there is no such thing as an omnipotent god holding the strings then count me in.

after bader’s death and biden’s inability, this shouldn’t be close.
Equating and both-siding the two situations serves nobody
I didn't

It's very illegal. It's voter fraud and it undermines democracy. Would you approve of Biden supporters stealing other's votes?

I resent YOUR smug attitude (probably dripping with white, male privilege too) that my escape didn't have any suffering involved in it - Carmichael
'White, male privilege' is a myth. People who indulge in that sort of identity politics use it as a lazy way to attack their interlocutor rather than deal honestly with the topic of discussion.
I never at any time even suggested you did not suffer as a result of your time with the cult. Maybe you could read my comments more thoughtfully instead of resorting to ad hominem replies.

you can look in other threads here where you speak about people feeling they have to join religion after leaving the exJWs as a sort of crutch or something to that effect
No you can't and that is not my position.
In fact I have threads that extol the value of religion even if the content of the faith is not objectively true.
There are of course exJWs who are looking for something to fill the void, that is true. What I am railing against is the endless accusations by people on very side that exJWs they disagree with are behaving 'like a JW'. THAT is smug and lazy.
By the way, just for the record, I think Trump is unfit to be president (faced with the choice Americans have in November I would vote for him)
