There is a problem with the word "information" used in context of "information theory and molecular biology". It has a very specific meaning whereas "information" has a very generalized, common usage.
Perhaps we ought to coin a mneumonic for it when we have these discussions. How about something like Cellcom?
One problem is that some people like to use the word "information" in various contratictory ways (in the same essay) in order to confuse these issues. Much of the stuff from "Discovery Institute" is of this nature. Similarly for the term "complexity." I see no reason to attribute honesty to those who do this intentionally.
How about sticking with "alive" and "dead" to describe the conditions in question? Those words are already well-understood. Thus we avoid fuzzy words that untintentionally may, of themselves, suggest the presence of non-existent complexities.
