Indeed, js1138's assertion that he can see "no need" for information theory in evolution is Occam's Razor.
However, I continue to assert that his statement is also an appeal to the anthropic principle wrt evolution because he presumes that evolution is fully explained by nature alone, i.e. without information theory.
The excerpt at 1929 illustrates that both Occam's Razor and the Anthropic Principle are asserted in support of metaphysical naturalism which was my entire point in post 1902.
IOW, assert either one or the other (or both) if you like, but it is precisely the same kind of argument as "God did it" only in this instance, it is that "nature did it".
The anthropic principle, like ID is difficult to disprove. I can't think of any way to test it.
But I disagree with something I think is being inferred from Wolfram, namely that evolution has a direction as a result of initial parameters. I can't prove this is false, but I believe it is.
I don't believe that everything we see in life was inevitable, at least not the large structures and body plans. Different circumstances would have led in different directions, particularly with different timings of catastrophic events.
