his own free will, and who is endowed with an intelligent mind. .

sequence of events which can cause information to originate by it-

Gitt's words state the same conclusions arrived at by the so-
called Information Theory, developed within the last few decades
to investigate the origin and structure of information in the uni-
verse, and accepted as part of thermodynamics. After long re-
search, it arrived at the conclusion that information is different

from matter, that it can never be reduced to matter, and that the
sources of information and matter must be investigated sepa-
rately.
As we saw earlier, scientists who have investigated DNA's
structure have stated that it contains a "magnificent" information.
Since this information cannot be reduced to matter, it must origi-
nate in a source beyond matter.

George C. Williams, one of the proponents of the theory of
evolution, admits that most materialists and evolutionists do not
want to accept this result. Williams had been a strong advocate of
materialism for many years, but states in an article written in 1995
that the materialist (reductionist) outlook that supposes that
everything is matter is wrong:
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 pack-
