ABSTRACT
If, up to this point, I have been successful at instilling doubts about the allsufficiency of matter, some work remains in arguing for the all-sufficiency of information. Actually, I’m not arguing for the all-sufficiency of information as such because, in my view, information is, in the end, always the product of a creative intelligence. This would make intelligence rather than information the most basic metaphysical entity, placing all-sufficiency with intelligence rather than information. Indeed, as a theist, I regard an intelligent being, God, as the prime reality. The issue here, however, is not the primacy of intelligence or teleology for metaphysics. The issue, rather, is the primacy of information for science. I am arguing that information should properly be regarded as the prime entity and object of study in science, displacing matter from its current position of eminence.
