Chapter 2: "Evidence Clearly Seen within the Complexity versus Intelligence Equation"

The journey of examining evidence clearly seen of God through nature and science continues in chapter 2, where math, statistics, and engineering are used to generate testable scientific predictions by establishing the new "Complexity versus Intelligence Equation" (APIC*SC ∝ minimum IQ required), where 'A' stands for accuracy, 'P' for precision, 'IC' for irreducible complexity, and 'SC' for specified complexity.  This equation suggests that the cognitive abilities required to create something complex are proportional to the intricacy, precision, and complexity of the object or system in question​​. The accuracy and precision levels required to design, machine, and build a mechanical wristwatch are quantified in order that it can be used as a basis of comparison against any other design.  This allows us to have standardized values that can be used for objectively evaluating any scientific predictions for Abiogenesis, as well as for Intelligent Design. Three additional equations are developed that establish probabilities producing DNA and RNA by natural undirected chance processes.  These can be used to objectively evaluate natural Abiogenesis processes for DNA and RNA since they are the most basic information sources required for life to begin from scratch. Also, 3 more equations are developed that establish probabilities producing functional proteins by natural undirected chance processes.  These can be used to objectively evaluate natural Abiogenesis processes for functional proteins since they are the most basic building blocks required for life to begin from scratch.

The document argues that this equation is intuitively used to recognize intelligent design. It posits that by examining evidence for each variable (A, P, IC, SC) and comparing them to levels found in modern technologies, one can determine if the evidence points to cognitive abilities above or below human levels. The text also comments on the challenges in explaining the origin of life and the universe, including the chirality of functional proteins and the mysteries surrounding dark matter and quantum mechanics​​.

The document emphasizes the difficulty random, undirected processes would have in achieving high accuracy, precision, and coordination, particularly in the context of DNA and protein synthesis. It asserts that the complexity found within even the most basic cellular life far exceeds our most advanced scientific capabilities, suggesting that such complexity cannot be the result of zero IQ, undirected processes like abiogenesis​​​​.

The document also includes a section titled "Questions for ChatGPT Concerning the Complexity versus Intelligence Equation," which reiterates the equation and its implications for understanding intelligent design, especially in the context of life's origins and the complexity of biological systems​​.

In discussing how to scientifically measure intelligence required for design, the document outlines various levels of intelligent goal-directed behavior and extrapolation. It argues that intelligent behavior can be measured and is evident in everything from technology to biological systems, contrasting this with the abilities of natural, undirected processes​​.
