Transmission of this information is nonchemical and nonphysical, and is
the controlling factor in the life process. The description of a living sys-
tem therefore transcends the chemical and physical laws which govern its

constituents. 139
In "Information in the Holographic Universe" an article published
in Scientific American magazine, the theoretical physicist Prof. Jacob D.
Bekenstein describes the importance of information:
Ask anybody what the physical world is made of, and you are
likely to be told "matter and energy." Yet if we have learned anything

from engineering, biology and physics, information is just as crucial an
ingredient. The robot at the automobile factory is supplied with metal
and plastic but can make nothing useful without copious instructions
telling it which part to weld to what and so on. A ribosome in a cell in
your body is supplied with amino acid building blocks and is powered
by energy released by the conversion of ATP to ADP, but it can synthe-
size no proteins without the information brought to it from the DNA in
the cell's nucleus. Likewise, a century of developments in physics has
taught us that information is a crucial player in physical systems and

processes. 140
When you look at evolutionist writings, you can see that they
sometimes admit that their theory is at a complete impasse in the face
of the information in living things. One outspoken authority on this
subject is the French zoologist Pierre-Paul Grassé. Despite being a ma-
terialist and an evolutionist, Grassé admits that the most important fact
to invalidate Darwinism is the information constituting life:

Any living being possesses an enormous amount of "intelligence," very
much more than is necessary to build the most magnificent of cathedrals.
Today, this "intelligence" is called "information," but it is still the same
thing. It is not programmed as in a computer, but rather it is condensed
on a molecular scale in the chromosomal DNA or in that of any other or-
