We have read posts that deal with intelligence, information and matter, but what about energy? Dembski addresses the topic of energy in the following excerpts:
“Information changes dynamically, with information passing in, through, and out of matter. . . . Anything that exhibits information needed at some point to be imparted with information. What causes information to undergo such dynamic transformation? The usual answer to this question is stated in one word: energy. . . . energy is logically downstream from information in the sense that energy is always inferred from information, but not vice versa. . . . Energy . . . seems unavoidable in discussions about the dynamics of information. . . . When information happens - and it happens all the time - what causes it to happen? . . . energy is as good an answer as exists. This answer makes energy the causal glue that connects diverse items of information in an informational universe.”
Dembski specifically mentions an immaterial energy in this context, and I have addressed such energy in blog posts that discuss the role of wave forms in the transmission of linguistic neural codes through synaptic networks by the process of quantum tunneling.
