The Three Laws of Creationism (as i've observed) First Law: Creationists always lie (that is, promoting creationism is more important than honesty). Second Law: Creationists think everything is religion (especially science). Third Law: Creationism means never having to say you’re sorry (thus they never admit mistakes) more goodies from sensuouscurmudgeon.wordpress.com On another more highly technical note of information theory: Jeffrey Shallit, a reknowned expert in information theory, is up at the Univ of Waterloo recursed.blogspot.com Creationist information, as discussed by Stephen Meyer, is an incoherent mess. One version of it has been introduced by William Dembski, and criticized in detail by Mark Perakh, Richard Wein, and many others (including me). Intelligent design creationists love to call it "specified information" or "specified complexity" and imply that it is widely accepted by the scientific community, but this is not the case. There is no paper in the scientific literature that gives a rigorous and coherent definition of creationist information; nor is it used in scientific or mathematical investigations.
