Re: Question
How can evolution be the producer of the information?
If the message is the genome, then evolution is the producer because random mutations modify and add information to the message.
But still, with you're view on information, there is no "receiver" of the message in DNA, so DNA cannot contain information.
If evolution is the result of the processing of the information that is sent to the receiver by the sender.
Who is the receiver?

The answer therefore is: From the laws of physics. How did it get into the genome? Work was done. Where did the information from the laws of physics come from? Not a question for evolution.
Satisfied?
No.
Because there is no natural process known to science that creates coded information.
The process explained by the Theory of Evolution does.
That is: Random Mutation + Natural Selection.

No that tells you what happened.
It does not tell you were the new information came from.
The new information comes from the random mutations and the natural selection determines if it sticks around or not.
Evolution does require some starting info though...
Where that came from you can learn about by studying abiogenesis.
