What I said is that "instructions," is a metaphor, in layman's terms, for the complex chemical reactions that take place. You decided to misconstrue that into an endorsement of your position, when you know I disagree with you.
Now, I'm being entirely serious here: how would you test for information, in a quantitative sense. You believe that this is a scientifically viable premise, so tell me: how do you define information, and how do you test for the amount of it in an object?
Because "information," the way most theists use it, is a big fat trick: it's a vague, airy fairy word, the sole use of which is to draw a connection to information in the sense that real people use it, which requires a designer. It's not a word applied in a biological sense for its accuracy or applicability, but for the atmosphere it produces in a sentence. It casts a dishonest shadow.
