Is Everything Ones and Zeros?

This is a very long and probably a boring segment to most of you. However, I would encourage you to listen from 3:36 to 7:51 and if you are really brave then on through 12:35. I think it shows how this concept that all things are information only invites more questions that point to our insignificance and a necessity that there must have been an original Creation. I do believe that all things contain information that points to our Creator. As a physicist and author, the man in the video (Vlatko Vedral) does have a humbleness about him that I appreciate.
This sort of helped me to meditate again on the fact that God cannot be figured out. If we could (which is an insane assumption) understand God, then He would not be God. A finite man trying to understand an infinite God who created man's existence and continually sustains him, well the notion is absurd is it not!? Even though He allows us to obtain more information that points to His reality, it seems to only bring more questions. Our brains could literally be driven crazy if it weren't for faith and hope. Some people simply refuse to believe based upon the fact they can't understand or answer a question. I believe that God is infinite, omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. My heart and mind except this and thus all questions are siphoned through these realities bringing peace by not allowing mere questions to take precedence.

I want to add that I don't promote everything Mr. Vedral says. He has created an excuse in his mind (randomness) to explain what his mind does not understand, thus allowing for the creation of laws. I more or less find this intriguing, because it gives you an insight into how the mind works when it cannot understand something. I find myself many times looking for an answer to satisfy my questions. When in reality the answer I am looking for can become of higher importance that the reality I already know. I must let my mind rest in the fact the our Creator has infinite wisdom. I am a child trying to understand ways that are so far above my ways that a thousand lifetimes would not be enough to calculate the realities. 
Is this not also what we do for our sin? We are masterful at coming up with reasons to allow our flesh to obtain what it wants. We create in our minds a reality that allows us to be comfortable with breaking God's laws. This is exactly what the minds of those who deny God attempt to do. Those who believe in God and original creation of all things, find these "creations" that men come up with to explain a universe without God, as foolishness. Thus a simple man is more wise than the smartest man on earth. The smart man creates an alternative universe that looks absurd to those who believe in the universe of reality. "Professing themselves to be wise they become fools".
