In the Beginning was Information

The close link between information and will was discussed in paragraph3.3, and this idea is also clearly emphasised many times inthe Bible. We read in Revelation 4:11: “You created all things, andby your will they were created and have their being.” And theintentional prerequisite of information is expressed in Genesis1:26: “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.”In the light of the information theorems all materialistic evolutionmodels are useless and are thus rejected 17 .The British evolution theoreticist, Richard Dawkins, expresses thefollowing expectation in his book “The blind watchmaker”: “Thepurpose of this book is to provide a non-supernatural explanationfor the existence of complex living organisms” [D2]. As a consequencewe cannot expect to find a scientifically based answer inhis discussion (e. g. because of Theorem 17).17 Evolution models: This sentence refers to all those evolution concepts whichassume the possibility that matter can be self-organising. This view is found inthe publications by supporters of evolution, to mention just a few: ManfredEigen, Bernd-Olaf Küppers, Carsten Bresch, Franz Wuketits, and David Attenborough.In addition there is the idea of theistic evolution where God just setthe evolution ball rolling and supposedly guided it during millions of years.This latter view cannot be refuted by means of the information theorems, but itcontradicts biblical revelation. In my book “Did God use evolution?” [G14]theistic evolution is discussed in detail and is rejected.136
