That quote you gave does NOT refer to Demski’s assertion that CSI must exist first- and that he sees no way it could exist and be transfered in it’s entire complexity to a species- which is what we were discussing- not whther Demski beleives comunication can relay messages that have nothign to do with biology except to possibly help a species survive longer IF there is a master Red Rover annoucer instrucitng every species they are ‘gettign warmer’ or ‘colder’

The quote is about the source of information in evolution. If you disagree, take it up with Dembski. The question is whether evolutionary algorithms can solve problems, such as what changes will be beneficial.

What Dembski has conceded is that evolutionary algorithms can accumulate information.

To be completely honest, he is also suggesting that evolutionary searches are not efficient enough to account for complex structures in the available time, but that’s really something to be addressed by experiment.

But the fundamental question of where the information comes from is clearly stated by Dembski.
