In the Beginning was Information

languages, creating a programming language, writing a book, writingan original scientific paper, program instructions in DNA molecules,and the setting up of blueprints for living beings.Conclusions: It should now be clear where the follies of evolutionaryviews lie. If someone presents a model for explaining the originof life, but he cannot say where the creative information characteristicof all life forms came from, then the crucial questionremains unanswered. Somebody who looks for the origin of informationonly in physical matter, ignores the fundamental naturallaws about information; what is more, he scorns them. It is clearfrom the history of science that one can ignore the laws ofnature for a limited time only.There are only four different possible relationships between senderand recipient [G4], as illustrated in Figure 23. Only intelligentbeings qualify as sender or recipient (God and man), or systemsconstructed by intelligent minds (e. g. man, other living beings,machines like computers or communication systems, and storagemedia). The four possible communication channels are shown inFigure 23. According to Theorem 29 senders of creative informationcan only be personal beings, while machines may serve assenders of copied or reproduced information.Figure 23: The four possible combinations of sender and recipient.114
