Matter...Not?

In all of the previous articles except the last one, we have been searching for evidence in science. Nobody can prove the God exists, so we turn and try to find places that we can find evidence in. I was introduced to a book called Being as Communion by William Dembski. He says that the world is made not of matter, but by information.

If that is confusing and hard to grasp, here is an example:

You go to the park to go bird watching. We can say they are made up of matter, which that statement isn't incorrect, but we can also say that they are made up of information.

You may ask yourself (or me,) "O...K.... What do you mean information?"

Well, DNA is kind of like the code in a computer program. Without that code...you'll get no program!DNA is the same. Without the DNA, then the baby bird inside the egg wouldn't know what to do.

This is a different way of looking at life, but it is not super different. It's just a point of view that you can look at.

I know this isn't much of an article, but I've been having trouble on topics to discuss. If you have suggestions, please comment, and I will try to use them.

Have a great week!

Caleb
