Arkain, I'll have to say "Oh hell - not again."

I followed the link, and nothing new was forthcoming, except the rock-hard belief in the common fallacy that information 'can't be generated naturally'.

The 'code' in our DNA is the result of a feedback loop, that has only one requirement: The ability to procreate and live in a given environment.

I have written a spreadsheet to generate random letters, picking those that 'fit' the environment, and leaving the rest.

Here's the output: (Underscore is SPACE)

This have created the sentence "DARWIN RULES" in only 39 'generations', using an environmental feedback loop.

Nature seems to be able to generate information. The environment decides what works, and what doesn't, granting those that do the opportunity to procreate, and discarding the rest.
