I looked into information theory a few years ago, when a creationist I was speaking with started talking about information, and the laws of information, etc. It's eye-glazing stuff for me, overall, but I was surprised to find that there was more than one school of thought, and that definitions for terms between them were not interchangeable.

As far as I can tell, information theory was dragged into the whole creation/evolution - believer/atheist furor because some of the terms were similar to thermodynamic terms, and that genes are "information."
