David Comment: That is the point: information is not material and life operates on information contained in material. > > B bella:I would agree if your sentence was put as so: Information is not material (except at the quantum level). Intelligence operates with information contained within material (matter) to create life.-I'm sure what you mean 'at the quantum level'. Quanta contain characteristic properties which is a form of static information. DNA is a code based on amino acids. I generally agree with you.
