The entire chain of DNA is an encoded message, information for processing. God created the information and His created lifeless universe then receives the message and decodes it into a thing something else can use, namely the soul of life, which is not strictly speaking 'in' 4D spacetime, only intersecting it using the decoded organismal carrier.

The working analogy is the story of Flatland. Or, if you prefer, the dimensional framework / tesseract explanation offered by Carl Sagan during one of his COSMOS episodes.

Thank you so very much for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!

The point that information (Shannon, successful communication) is the difference between life and non-life/death in nature was underscored by Wimmer's creating the polio virus in the laboratory.

He began with the information content (genome sequence available even on the internet) which he merely facilitated the communication of via physico-chemical synthesis.
