{{cquote|No matter how many "bits" of possible combinations it has, there is no reason to call it "information" if it doesn't at least have the potential of producing something useful. What kind of information produces function? In computer science, we call it a "program." Another name for computer software is an "algorithm." No man-made program comes close to the technical brilliance of even Mycoplasmal genetic algorithms. Mycoplasmas are the simplest known organism with the smallest known genome, to date. How was its genome and other living organisms' genomes programmed? - David L. Abel and Jack T.

As aforely mentioned, intelligent design theorist concur in regards to an intelligent cause in regards to the origin of biological information and that the genetic code, genetic programs, and genetic information argue for an intelligent cause in regards the origins of living organisms.  Dr. [[Stephen C. Meyer]] argued that naturalistic explanations for the [[origin of life]] have failed and that inference to the best explanation for the origin of biological information is an intelligent cause. <ref>http://www.macrodevelopment.org/library/meyer.html</ref> In the peer reviewed biology journal [[Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington]] Dr. Meyer argues that no current materialistic [[theory of evolution]] can account for the origin of the information necessary to build novel animal forms and proposed an intelligent cause as the best explanation for the origin of biological information and the higher [[taxa]]. <ref>http://www.discovery.org/scripts/viewDB/index.php?command=view&id=2177</ref> The editor of the Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington, Dr. [[Richard Sternberg]], [[Smithsonian-Sternberg affair|came under intense scutiny and persecution for the aforementioned article]] published by Dr. Meyer. <ref>http://www.discovery.org/scripts/viewDB/index.php?command=view&id=2399</ref>
