For those not familiar with it, a random 'static' pattern of pixels has more 'information' according to Shannon's definition than a page of text, because it takes more effort to perfectly describe every aspect of the former than the latter. This makes it easy for evolutionists to claim that random processes can generate "information". However this "information" is biologically meaningless and offers no solution to the existence of information within a linguistic structure like DNA.
Shannon's information theory is relevant to other fields like telecommunications, but treating it as relevant to the origin of biological information is just silly.

shannon theory isn’t about the ‘origin of info’- it’s about the communication of informaiton- you can’t have informaiton without the comunication- info isn’t info until it’s communicated- the rise of info would have to include a way to comminicate that info- otherwise a species could not thrive or survive- Shannon theory is absolutely relevent to the discussion of biological systems
