God's Crime Scene, A Cold-Case - J. Warner Wallace [Epub, Mobi]

 "Free will is difficult to deny (unless, of course, we have the freedom to deny it)."

 

 

God’s Crime Scene will help you understand the strength of the case for God’s existence, drawing on over 25 years of investigative experience to provide you with a credible template to examine the evidence. You’ll come away with startling, new insight and the ability to articulate what you already intuitively understand from your experience living as a human being in the universe.

 

QUOTES:

Now let’s turn our attention to the nucleotide sequencing in DNA. Is this information? Scientists and researchers seem to think so, and most recognize the dilemma this creates. Paul Davies expressed it well: “Once this essential point is grasped, the real problem of biogenesis is clear. Since the heady successes of molecular biology, most investigators have sought the secret of life in the physics and chemistry of molecules. But they will look in vain for conventional physics and chemistry to explain life, for that is a classic case of confusing the medium with the message. The secret of life lies, not in its chemical basis, but in the logical and informational rules it exploits.”18...
...The chance arrangement of information in DNA is prohibitively improbable, and there are no chemical or physical laws at work to dictate its existence.22 We are left, then, with a paradox: the laws and forces of nature cannot produce information, but information is required for life to begin.23

Some philosophers prefer to see the mind as a complex machine of sorts. This is called machine-state functionalism. According to this view, our brains are physical machines programmed with instructions and capable of receiving sensory input like physical computers.
In fact, philosophers who accept this view think computers might someday possess conscious minds if they can be designed with a high degree of complex, functional ability. But this explanation for consciousness mistakes an appearance with a reality: Computers sometimes produce specific responses with the appearance of understanding, but they do so without true comprehension. Also, two people can respond (or function) in the same way even though their mental experiences are completely different. This is not the case with physical machines such as computers. Every Windows- or Apple-based operating system processes input and provides output in the same way, based on the common operating systems. But while humans have a common physical “operating system”—the brain—we don’t share common thoughts, feelings, or responses to stimuli. Once again, the evidence of our own experience fails to support this theory of consciousness.
