What strikes me, however, is that the theory of "non-random" or directed genomic change renders natural selection unnecessary.

You read it, and you probably have a good idea of those who won't read it or who will try to diminish the assertions it contains. What do you think of the last line?

Indeed, it is possible that we will eventually see such information-processing capabilities as essential to life itself.

"Indeed, it is possible that we will eventually see such information-processing capabilities as essential to life itself." What do I think of that concluding sentence? Well, I'm skeptical because I've met a lot of living beings who appear to have no information-processing capabilities whatsoever.

No, seriously, I find the theory intriguing. I'm not surprised that such a discovery would be made in an age and society that is reforming its activities around information processing. Although I'm not a scientist, this theory of non-random genetic change through an information processing mechanism makes much more sense to me and fits much better with the evidence, which just doesn't support the theory of random genetic change and mutations occuring gradually over long periods of time.
