I agree with you, but maybe information is not the word to use. I would use the word 'data'. Information requires context.
What is the relationship between data-information-knowledge?
Maybe knowledge is needed in order to interpret data into information? The precise arrangement of letters in the soup is data. The arrangement of dna-sequences is also only data.
It only becomes information when this raw data is interpreted in some way.
For example DNA is not information to me. GAGAG tells me nothing. It is information for the cell though. Or take the gigabytes of data streamed back by the mars-rovers. It is usless data until that moment a scientist has had a look at it
Also the interpreter that converts data into information does obvioulsy not need to have any form of intelligence.
I can write a program that converts some kind of bulk data, into another form, red by another program that needs this as information to as how it should operate.
But whats even funnier i can also write a program that through natural selection rewrites itself and finally does the exakt same thing as my first hand-crafted one.
So when someone says that information cannot arise of its own, but a intelligent creator is needed, they are plain wrong
