Abstract
I'll show that the kind of analogy between life and information argue for by
authors such as Davies (2000), Walker and Davies (2013), Dyson (1979), Gleick
(2011), Kurzweil (2012), Ward (2009), that seems to be central to the effect
that artificial mind may represents an expected advance in the life evolution
in Universe, is like the design argument and that if the design argument is
unfounded and invalid, the argument to the effect that artificial mind may
represents an expected advance in the life evolution in Universe is also
unfounded and invalid. However, if we are prepared to admit (though we should
not do) this method of reasoning as valid, I'll show that the analogy between
life and information to the effect that artificial mind may represents an
expected advance in the life evolution in Universe seems suggest some type of
reductionism of life to information, but biology respectively chemistry or
physics are not reductionist, contrary to what seems to be suggested by the
analogy between life and information.
