his mind into letters, using a pen, a typewriter or a computer. Later, these
letters are printed in a publishing house and take the shape of a book
made up of paper and ink.
We can therefore state this general conclusion: "If physical matter
contains information, then that matter must have been designed by a
mind that possessed the information in question. First there is the mind.
That mind translates the information it possesses into matter, which
constitutes the act of design."

The Origin of the Information in Nature
When we apply this scientific definition of information to nature, a
very important result 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 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. 18
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. Matter was brought into existence, given
form, and organised by Him.
