Yes chance can theoretically produce information … if chance somehow generated a sequence of letters, it could I guess randomly produce eg an article discussing does chance exist. But if chance is you only source of order there would be no one to read the article, or for that matter know that the article actually made sense. So the random sequence of letters that produced the article would remain unread.
I find the idea that chance can produce order unconvincing. (Yet I recognise there is much about this I don’t understand.)
Derek, I agree entirely – even that there is lots I don’t understand! Thanks for your comment, I think I’ll post another one tying up all the loose ends.
