DNA molecules contain the highest known packing density of information.  This exceedingly brilliant storage method reaches the limit of the physically possible, namely down to the level of single molecules.  At this level the information density is more than 10¹⁸ bits/cm³.

W. Gitt, In The Beginning Was Information, pg 195.

 

Man is undoubtedly the most complex information processing system existing on the earth.  The total number of bits handled daily in all information processing events occuring in the human body, is 3 x 10²⁴.  The number of bits being processed daily in the human body is more than a million times the total amount of human knowledge stored in all the libraries of the world, which is about 10¹⁸ bits.

Matter and energy are basic prerequisites for life, but they cannot be used to distinguish between living and inanimate systems.  The central characteristic of all living beings is the "information" they contain, and this information regulates all life processes and procreative functions.

W. Gitt, In The Beginning Was Information, pg 88.

 

The fundamental quantity informationis a nonmaterial (mental) entity.  It is not a property of matter, so that purely material processes are fundamentally precluded as sources of information.

W. Gitt, In The Beginning Was Information, pg 47.

 

Neither algorithms nor natural laws, however, are capable of producing information.  The great myth of modern evolutionary biology is that information can be gotten on the cheap without recourse to intelligence.

W. Dembski, Intelligent Design, pg 153.

 

Undergirding biochemistry is ordinary chemistry and physics, neither of which can account for biological information.

"I'm sitting in my kitchen looking at this large collection of cells put together into this amazing thing called a cat.  What is the difference between a cat and a crystal of salt, which also is the product of self-assembly?"
