Define 'information', and then defend it's use in that statement.
Also, in case you haven't noticed, that at base we are all non-living matter. Break as down far enough, to our basest components, and you will soon enough fail to see the forest of life for the tree of molecules and atoms. The current demarcation line for how we define life is the ability to maintain internal homeostasis, this is why even though viruses are made out of organic molecules they are not considered to be alive.
