information in each book, is the mind of the writer who wrote that book.
Moreover, this mind determines how paper and ink will be used. A book ini-
tially forms in the mind of the writer who writes that book. The writer builds a
chain of logic in his mind, and lines up the sentences. As a second step, he puts
them into a material form, which is to mean that he pours the information in his
mind into letters by using a type-writer or a computer. Later, these letters are
printed in a printing-house and take the shape of a book made up of paper and
ink.
Thereupon we can end up with the following general conclusion: "If a phys-
ical matter contains information, then that matter ought to have been designed
by a mind that possesses the information in question. First there is the mind.
That mind pours the information in it into matter and then there is the design."

The Origin of the Information in Nature
When we adapt this conclusion reached by science to nature, we meet a very
important result. This is because nature, as in the example of DNA, overflows
with an immense body of information 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 reluc-
tant to see. Williams has strictly defended materialism for years, but in an arti-
cle he wrote in 1995, he states the incorrectness of the materialist (reductionist)
approach which holds everything to be 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 can never be brought together in any kind of the sense
usually implied by the term "reductionism.". The gene is a package of infor-
mation, 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
