DAVID: Note that information (in the italics) is required. How is that created by chance?-Dhw: If you were to ask how all these complexities could have come together by chance, I would nod in agreement. But this constant emphasis on the in-word “information” seems to me to damage your case. Information is present in everything, and the same information would be present in the blueprints of life whether they were formed by chance or not. -DAVID: Yes, but the information in a crystal is not the same as the information in a living one-celled organism. Where did that living coded information come from? I know you can't answer, because you will not accept the logical source, a mind.-All forms of life and non-life are full of information. I was merely pointing out that the information is there, whether the materials were assembled by chance or not. Where did anything and everything come from? None of us can answer, and a sourceless, living mind full of information is no more logical than sourceless, mindless energy and matter full of information.
