Regarding the claim that the concept of specified complexity is meaningless, I suggest you read my blog post here:
http://www.evolutionnews.org/2013/08/tw ... 75771.html
You write that:
"Unlike a random assembly of alphabetic and punctuation characters (which exhibits complexity), the sentences and paragraphs in this (or any) article exhibit what ID theorists call "specified complexity." That is to say, the sequences of characters are organized in a particular way to convey meaning to people who are acquainted with the English language. ID proponents argue that specified complexity uniformly arises from intelligent causes, not the unguided forces of nature."
- But this is what we already know is false. Evolution produces new gene sequences, and the evolutionary process is not, as far as we can tell, guided by anything, but is a purely natural process.
