You showed me a computer program you wrote didn't you? Was there
something else I have missed?

I challenged your claim that you observed that things in general decay and you admitted that it was not in fact true and changed the claim.

I am sure that I have demonstrated your errors many times in the past, but it is possible it was someone else.

In this case it is quite simple:
Kellys claim: Complex systems do not just arise over time they degrade.
Proof that it is false: My computer is a complex system and it arose over time.

As for the link between entropy and complexity, lets see if you know what they are.
1. Which has a higher entropy, a jar of muddy water or a jar of muddy water which has been left to settle until the water is clear and the mud is in neat layers at the bottom?
2. Which is more complex in 1?

You computer program didn't just arise you wrote it.
Your program's did just what you programmed it to do.
You failed in my opinion to prove that point using your program.

Where did I say "computer program"? You are in such a hurry to avoid my challenge that you don't even read my posts.
Can you answer my questions in that post relating to complexity and entropy.

What does 'arise' mean?

Now back to your claim: "Complex systems do not just arise over time they degrade."
1. Is my computer (not computer program), a complex system?
2. Is it degrading over time?
3. Where did it come from?

I post and read more than several posts a day, forgive me if one of
the many posts you wrote to me I don't remember. I asked you if
what you were refering to was the computer program because I do not
recall your "proof" you were refering to.

I do read your posts, along with several other people's posts, I do not
put yours to memory, maybe you feel I should, but sorry I do not.

evidence: x, y, z.

I believe that the human's eye is designed with blind spots because if
it had the octopus' physiology it would be worse because of the following
reasons: a, b, c.

I believe that the human eye used to lack blind spots because of the
following reasons: 1, 2, 3.
Where's your answer, KellyJay?

Apology accepted.

Now are you able to answer my questions?

You wrote your computer program; your program did what you
programmed it to do as it executed the code you put in it. The
code didn’t just happen/arise by itself, you coded it.

Your refusal to answer any of his 3 questions is an induction that you either have no answers to his questions or that you just haven’t even bothered to think about them because you don’t want reason to enter the discussion.
You have nothing real to say so why even bother saying anything?

Self coding computers will be at best buy next year.
