No God, but created?

The other side to this is that word, information.
It keeps coming up over and over again. The problem is that it's being completely misused in this context.

"Information" in a cell/DNA is what we, as humans, project onto it.
But there is no inherent information or data in there at all. Everything that occurs at the cellular/DNA level is just "what happens" based on laws of chemistry and physics. Nothing more nothing less.

You can say this about ALL things, not just genetic information. A wave doesn't really exist-- it's just a bunch of particle wave functions vibrating in space, each functioning individually based on its physical properties (which happen to add up to what we see as a wave). A person doesn't really exist-- it's just a bunch of particle wave functions vibrating in space.

But as soon as you start talking about people as existent things, then you have to extend that conceptual umbrella to body parts, cells and DNA as well. You can't philosophize the parts out of existence while insisting on the reality of the whole.
