Information and the Mind

                      Read John 1:1-5 Psalm 147:5

Modern science has discovered that a third component of the universe exists in addition to that of matter and energy. That third component is information. Language, mathematics, the DNA code and musical codes are some of the ways that information expresses itself within creation. Language, mathematics and musical codes were given directly to finite intelligent minds so that we could easily distinguish bits of information from each other to be reused in combinations of ideas in our own creative ways.

There can be no information without mind, and there can be no mind without information. These are mutually inclusive. No human has ever created anything without the use of his or her mind and the information contained within it.

Since the DNA code and the laws of nature exist and are far more complex than any finite mind could ever create, then an Infinite Mind must exist infused with Infinite Information who created life and the laws of nature.

Each bit of information within the Infinite Mind must itself be infinite. Thus, the Infinite Mind does not need an inner code to distinguish each bit of information, but knows the Infinite Information directly. This can only mean that the Infinite Mind must be identical with His Infinite Information.

But when God decided to create a finite world with intelligent creatures, then he had to base His creations on finite codes and give finite codes to His intelligent creatures so that they could obtain a finite understanding of His creations. However, God also knew that His intelligent creatures would possess a very limited ability to understand Him since He is Infinite. Therefore, after the fall of man, God began to reveal His Living Word to mankind; first through His prophets and later through His infallible written Word, the Holy Bible (KJB).
