Including patterns of tropical swirls or butterflies. Consider information digitized in a computer. If this information is represented by pulses of electrical current, then these pulses must stand out above the noise of random thermal electron movement. Each bit must be represented by a current having a finite amount of energy. Information lost in noise is not useful information.
Some energy is stored in magnetic patterns on some medium.
Such as the magnetization of a cassette tape. As Peacocke observes in a note, . . . It's not merely that the mathematical physics of the butterfly model doesn't work out. The notion that God must tiptoe about in his own Creation dissatisfies me. Scientists claim that the stars roll along their courses without divine assistance.
