Information never arises from inorganic matter.

Sure it does. Carefully examine the sand grains on a beach. You are likely to find that the average size of the grains on the surface of the beach grows smaller as you move up the beach from the shoreline. The reason is obvious on reflection: the waves lose energy as they lap up the beach so that larger particles of sand fall out of suspension first.

Despite the extreme simplicity of this example, there is information here, i.e. a coding in the sand grain size differential indicating (roughly) how far up the beach one is, and which direction is toward the shore and which away from the shore.

Do you honestly believe the incredbily complex amount of specified complex information need to create a human being, from blood clotting to abstract thinking could be put in the same category as unspecified complex information in a grain of sand.

Complexity in a grain of sand is a function of chemistry; specified complexity in human DNA is a function of design. p> More on this later.
