I propose that anything with an information content in excess of 1 VEB unit is probably the product of intelligent design. A VEB unit is defined as the quantum of information equal to the amount of information found in one volume of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

If you can find something that contains that much information (i.e., an amount equal to or greater than 1 VEB unit), it will probably be the product of intelligent design.


[heypete: Please provide details of how this survey would be conducted, specifically how one would "determine whether they were the product of intelligent design or random, unguided processes."]


A good place to look for things that contain a quantum of information in excess of 1 VEB unit is the pubic library. That's a good place to conduct the study because most of those things identify an author.

In my studies, all library books containing over 1 VEB unit of information that I have examined were found to be the product of intelligent agency. I have yet to find one that was written by unguided, random processes.

According to Dawkins, the nucleus of each cell "...contains a digitally coded database larger, in information content, than all 30 volumes of the Encyclopaedia Britannica put together." That's over 30 VEB units!

Because a living cell has more than 30 VEB units of information, I can safely conclude with a high degree of scientific confidence that it is highly probable that a living cell is intelligently designed.
