Life usually consists of cells. Cells have lots of information and need lots of information. The DNA for example, but also RNA, mRNA, and mechanisms for how these all work together and fit together. The information exists to tell a cell to produce other cells and to change into specialised cells and to stay alive, with all the processes that requires and the information about all the protein sequences that are required, etcetera, etcetera. Even a plasmid or virus needs information to encode amino acids into useful proteins that will help the DNA or RNA to reproduce in host cells, despite being so relatively simple in structure that some scientists say the plasmids and viruses are not really independently alive. Even such semi-alive viruses and plasmids need to store, reproduce and evolve huge amounts of information and to develop within a context in which exists huge amounts of information. Then there is the overall context such as the direction in which these living and semi-living things evolve and relate to each other in an ecosystem. For a bee to hatch and grow into adult there has to be an overall information system that says whether there will be flowers with nectar to gather. For flowers to grow there has to be information that bees exist to pollinate them once they are mature. The information in a planet inhabited by living things is so vast. Then the planet needs information to keep it inhabitable. If it does not persist in a certain orbit from its star it will become uninhabitable. Something has to hold the information about the orbit and the parameters of flexibility of that orbit within which life will continue. All these things are prerequisites of life. Where is all this information stored? Within life itself. So how would life come out of gravity and matter and energy unless it existed before gravity and matter and energy? Ultimately this information needs more besides in order to result in the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and the new future that comes about through Jesus. All the prerequisites for the coming of Jesus require the kind of holy information that could not come from mere gravity, matter and energy alone but must be previously stored in Life existing before these material things.
