Thank you so much for your reply!

The reason I don't get excited about information theories is that I don't see the need for them in evolution. Regardless of what causes variation in genomes, the information about what is needed to survive and reproduce is contained in the transaction that comprises selection.

Yours is a statement of faith (anthropic principle applied to evolution). And certainly there is no offense in any person having a faith as long as it is recognized as such (YECs for instance need to keep that in mind).

To the issue at hand, a statement of faith is not responsive to the "creationist appeal to the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics to refute evolution".

It looks to me like Occam's razor.
