The genesis of life is keyed to genes evolving in organisms. There is remarkable debate about randomness and probability, the inevitable and the contingent, actualities and possibilities, as these result in increasing diversity and complexity. The generated biological information displays a cumulative creativity that, described by science, is nowhere implied by biological theory. Such genesis invites an account of God as the Ground of Information.
