ensues. This is because nature overflows with an immense body of
information (as, for example, in the case of DNA), and since this
information cannot be reduced to matter, it therefore comes from a source
beyond matter.
One of the foremost advocates of the theory of evolution, George C.
Williams, admits this reality, which most materialists and evolutionists
are reluctant to see. Williams has strongly defended materialism for years,
but in an article he wrote in 1995, he states the incorrectness of the
materialist (reductionist) approach which holds that everything is matter:
Evolutionary biologists have failed to realize that they work with two more
or less incommensurable domains: that of information and that of matter…
These two domains will never be brought together in any kind of the sense
usually implied by the term "reductionism." …The gene is a package of
information, not an object... In biology, when you're talking about things like
genes and genotypes and gene pools, you're talking about information, not
physical objective reality... This dearth of shared descriptors makes matter
and information two separate domains of existence, which have to be
discussed separately, in their own terms. 379
Therefore, contrary to the supposition of materialists, the source of
the information in nature cannot be matter itself. The source of
information is not matter but a superior Wisdom beyond matter. This
Wisdom existed prior to matter. The possessor of this Wisdom is Allah,
the Lord of all the Worlds. Matter was brought into existence, given form,
and organized by Him.
Gerald Schroeder, an MIT-trained Israeli scientist who worked in
physics and biology and authored The Science of God, makes a number of
important comments on this subject. In his more recent book, Science
Reveals the Ultimate Truth, Schroeder sets out the conclusion revealed by
such branches of science as molecular biology and quantum physics:
A single consciousness, a universal wisdom, pervades the universe. The
discoveries of science, those that search the quantum nature of subatomic
matter, have moved us to the brink of a startling realization: all existence is
the expression of this wisdom. In the laboratories we experience it as
information that first physically articulated as energy and then condensed
into the form of matter. Every particle, every being, from atom to human,
appears to represent a level of information, of wisdom. 380
