"How can information be produced and delivered without any aspect of design or intelligence? Is it "unscientific" to suggest design and intelligence are often part and parcel of producing information and then executing functions based upon that information?

You have assumed that everything we can treat as 'information' simply for analysis sake is the same as one person communicating to another. This is exactly why the leaders of ID insist on reifying everything.

No, I haven't. If a tree falls in the woods, and no "person" is there to hear it, information is nevertheless created and transmitted.

The universe is so replete with evidence of intelligent design it cannot be falsified. The truth cannot be falsified. That does not make it "uncientific." You're stuck on requiring science to prove it's givens out of a desire to demonstrate . . . what? What do you have as a substitute, scientifically feasible, explanation for all the information, i.e. design, in the world? Please explain how the Periodic Table of Elements retains its consistentcy without any aspect of intelligence, design, or information. Then tell me how much information is in a strand of DNA. Or how about a single Oxygen atom?

Or is it the overall integrity of the universe you question, as if matter must not necessarily impact itself from point to point?
