Maybe the role of information should play an important role in evolutionary theory. Maybe not. It seems to be very impractical to do it, though.
For example, how do you define and quantify the "information" in the DNA of the fossils of unicellular organisms we find in the lowest geological strata where we first find life? It is impossible to do.
To me the rational way to do it is to look at the evidence, and from there, conclude that life developed, no matter what our definition of the word "information" is in biology. You can't wish reality away.
Lets start with the basics. Define the word "information" and also quantify It. That's the only way for the word "information" to be useful in biology.
The word also has to reflect reality. It seems as if creationists try to do it without consulting reality. They only try wishful thinking. Not even one creationist has ever tried to explain to me why a Portuguese-Man-Of-War has less "information" than a jellyfish. Yet they all claim that does. No reason, just "because".
