More about how evolution works: look at the video (Evolution)

dhw: In other words, it is not information that DOES the planning; it is the planning mechanism - itself perhaps created with the use of information - that uses information (facts, data, knowledge) to do the planning. So let us refer to it as the planning mechanism (or intelligence, or God), and not as information with some fancy tag.-Not 'perhaps'. Information runs life, period. There are many websites which discuss this:-http://www.worldscientific.com/worldscibooks/10.1142/8818-http://www.cambridge.org/us/academic/subjects/life-sciences/evolutionary-biology/information-theory-evolution-and-origin-life-https://books.google.com/books?id=5O5M7Wq0O1YC&pg=PA208&lpg=PA208&dq=the+basis+of+living+matter+is+information&source=bl&ots=TRBCwvY4ZF&sig=EqhntmvC2OdCAG-imuuF6qucuHo&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CDEQ6AEwBGoVChMIroLC3eXlyAIVUftjCh1DGAIk#v=onepage&q=the%20basis%20of%20living%20matter%20is%20information&f=false-http://amapress.gen.cam.ac.uk/wp-uploads/2013/01/Encounters-at-a-boundary.pdf-"Living matter is a dynamic mixture of organic polymers, nucleic acids and
polypeptides, with significant contributions from carbohydrate and lipids.
Inorganic ions and other organic compounds e.g vitamins, play significant
additional roles in the mixture.
It is a mixture far from thermodynamic equilibrium that generates
dissipative structures. It is a mixture in a nonequilibrium steady state.
(ii) Biology is about information which, at the highest and most universal
level, flows according to the “central dogma” : the information to make,
replicate and mold a cell is stored in genes, DNA, and is decoded by
making transient copies in the form of mRNAs from which it is translated
into proteins, that encode the functions of the cells (enzymes, structural
role, processing of information)."-The basis of biology is information. To me, as a human, the way information can only be developed and understood is by 'mind'.
