In fact the information stored in DNA is enormous. It makes no difference that a third party is aware or unaware of it, that is irrelevant. The ability of the DNA to self diagnose a fault and to then apply a correction is certainly evidence of inherent information.
So show me an information. If you're going to assert that it's an objective quantity extant in DNA, then produce for me an information. You can't, though, because information isn't present in DNA-
"When it comes to storing information, hard drives don't hold a candle to DNA. Our genetic code packs billions of gigabytes into a single gram. A mere milligram of the molecule could encode the complete text of every book in the Library of Congress and have plenty of room to spare. All of this has been mostly theoretical—until now. In a new study, researchers stored an entire genetics textbook in less than a picogram of DNA—one trillionth of a gram—an advance that could revolutionize our ability to save data............. DNA chips are now the storage medium with the highest known information density, the researchers report online today in Science. " http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2012/08/d...hard-drive
