However, the design of the human brain is extremely complex and a huge amount of data would be required to actually store all of that design information.

And you think twelve gigabytes of information isn't "huge" enough? Why not? Show your math. This should be amusing.

Remember, in the Theory of Evolution, all design data has to be physically stored inside the organism.

I've got news for you, fella, that's the case in "intelligent design" scenarios as well.

Not even the IDers are stupid enough to try to claim that somehow blueprints are "beamed in" during embryological development from some extraterrestrial source...

Whenever biologists have gone looking for the gene(s) influencing the development of a particular structure or biochemical system in animals, they've found it.

You can't assume anything away; you can't wave your hands and say well this happens and then somehow this happens.

Wouldn't dream of it.

It's a completely physical, biochemical theory and you have to store all information biochemically.

Again, even the "intelligent design" folks concede this point. Although they'll argue about the original *source* of the information contained in the DNA, not even the IDers deny that there's enough information in the genome to produce the next generation of babies. New puppies are not individually constructed by God's hand, they're made by the mother dog's womb and the DNA inherited from the daddy dog and the mommy dog.

I doubt that it's possible to store the complete design for a human being in 12 gigabytes of data. Even if somehow this could be done through a very complex algorithm, there's no evidence of any biochemical mechanism that can decode all this data and use it in the structural development and growth of a human being. Clearly, there is a mechanism for decoding DNA and using that information to build proteins and the enzymes that run the chemical reactions in our bodies. But once you get beyond proteins and simple biomolecules, there's little evidence of an actual decoding mechanism that can decode and utilize any complex structural information in DNA. You would need some incredible kind of biochemical computer and software to decode all that DNA and somehow use those "blueprints" in the structural development of a human and manage that development process. There's no evidence that this kind of biochemical computer and software exists and nobody knows how these processes actually work.

I didn't read your other long, insult-riddled post. I scanned it briefly, but it was so arrogant, so pompous, so ignorant, and so lacking in respect for other people on this website, that I'm not going to bother reading it. When you issue a full apology for your arrogance and insolent attitude to everyone involved, then I might give it a read. In the meantime, you need to start thinking longer and harder because you are making lots of assumptions about biochemistry and evolution. You just have your blinders firmly attached so that you never see your own assumptions. Have a nice day and don't bother replying to me until we receive your apology. In the future, I will not read any of your posts to me until I receive your apology.
