The algorithms, methods and numbers may first arrive from the theoretical physics, mathematics or information theory disciplines, without their having any particular intention to impact the theory of biological evolution.
Max Tegmark - Is ``the theory of everything'' merely the ultimate ensemble theory?
Jürgen Schmidhuber - Algorithmic Theories of Everything
Iaian Stewart - Theories of Everything
Stephen Wolfram - A New Kind of Science
You may be right, for one thing biology has been politicized to a great extent by evolutionists and there is not much room there for honest discussion. These are nevertheless scientific questions which need to be applied to all the sciences. The irony is that while the materialists claim that science is not allowed to consider anything which is not material as an answer, science itself, the process, is non-materialistic, and completely denies randomness. While the word algorithm comes from math, its use has been expanded to other disciplines and can be used correctly to mean 'a rule or procedure for solving a problem'. And that is what science is all about - discovering the rules and procedures of nature. Experiments in a sense are the same thing, they show the rules and procedures of these discoveries.
The product of science is thus information. Information is totally absent of material substance. Yet while materialists deny the existence of anything which is non material, they embrace science as proof that nothing outside material entities exist!
BTW - I am sure that many have thought that the sentence 'In the beginning was the Word' was somewhat allegorical or a poetic construction. My guess is that if we ever do find the algorithm of everything (which I doubt we will in this life) we will find out that the sentence is literally correct.
