I am hoping that people will take this opportunity to pose their questions to the author himself, rather than get second-hand interpretations. I will list below what I feel are some of your more controversial views that should be of interest to this group. If one looks for geological evidence that a primeval soup existed one comes up empty. See discussion in Information in Bits and Bytes in BioEssays v17 85-88 1995. There is a more thorough discussion in Information Theory and Molecular Biology.
Dialectical materialists are atheists.
Their belief in a primeval soup without evidence puts them in bed with theologians. One does not believe unless and until one has overwhelming evidence. You will note of course that this is a twist from the usual declaration of faith by SETI disciples. Forgive me if I think this incongruous situation is very funny. There is no path from this mythical soup to the generation of a genome and a genetic code.
