Immaterial information

I begin this series of blogs quoting from an article by Kyle Butt, M.Div., entitled “Immaterial Information” (https://apologeticspress.org/immaterial-information-14571/)

Butt cites The American Heritage dictionary that defines materialism as, “The theory that physical matter is the only reality and that everything, including thought, feeling, mind, and will, can be explained in terms of matter and physical phenomena.” Evolutionist Paul Davies wrote, ‘The materialist believes that mental states and operation are nothing but physical states and operations.’ . . . In short, there is an idea prevalent among those who believe in evolution that matter is the only ‘real’ thing that exists. If it is not material or physical, then it is not a part of the Universe, and is either non-existent or unimportant.

“The fundamental flaw with this particular theory is the fact that it can be proven that some things do exist which are not material. Among the most obvious of those is information.”
