Biological information . . . has a very high storage density and that it obvi-
ously employs extremely ingenious concepts. . . .it is clear that the informa-
tion present in living organisms requires an intelligent source. Man could
not have been this source, so that the only remaining possibility is that there
must have been a Creator. 143
Gitt's words are also the conclusions reached by the Information
Theory, regarded as part of thermodynamics and developed over the last
20 to 30 years. Information theory investigates the structure and origin of
the information in the universe. The conclusion reached thanks to
lengthy research by information theoreticians is that information is some-
thing different from matter. It can never be reduced to matter. The origins
of information and matter must be investigated separately.
The origin of the information in DNA is a dilemma that materialists
can never resolve. The origin of the information encoded in the DNA
molecule can never be accounted for through any natural mechanism. All
observations, experiments, and experience show that information can
emanate only from a conscious entity. The information in DNA is the
work of Almighty Allah, the Creator of all life.
In the Qur'an, our Lord's creative artistry and infinite power are de-
scribed in these terms:
That is Allah, your Lord. There is no deity but Him, the Creator of
everything. So worship Him. He is responsible for everything.
Eyesight cannot perceive Him but He perceives eyesight. He is
the All-Penetrating, the All-Aware. (Surat al-An'am, 102-103)
