T The Source of Information in Nature

e
When we apply this result revealed by science, we are confronted
by a most important conclusion. Because, as in the case of DNA, nature
is full of glorious information-and since this information cannot be re-
duced to matter-it must have a non-material source. George C.
Williams accepts this fact that most materialists and evolutionists are
unwilling to see. For many years, Williams supported materialism in a
most dogmatic fashion. But in an article written in 1995, he expressed
the error of the materialist (reductionist) approach that assumes that
everything consists of 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." . . . This dearth
of shared descriptors makes matter and information two separate do-
mains of existence, which have to be discussed separately, in their own
terms. 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 reali-
ty. 144
Twentieth-century science revealed that the information in DNA
cannot be reduced to matter, as materialists maintain. Therefore-and
contrary to what materialists imagine-the origin of the information in
nature cannot be matter itself. The source of information is not matter,
but a supra-material Intelligence that existed before matter. Matter
came into being, took shape and was arranged through it.
That Intelligence belongs to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.
While demolishing materialist philosophy, this extraordinary informa-
tion in the origin of life also provides countless proofs of the manifest
existence of Allah.
