Front-Loading Questions

I’ve toyed with the idea of front-loading, but it seems to me that there are major problems with it. The front-loading of the universe with the laws of physics to eventually make a life-hospitable planet seems like a reasonable hypothesis and logical conclusion. But the front-loading of living systems presents major problems.

There is no evidence that the front-loading of the information in living systems can in any way be compared to the front-loading of the laws of physics in the universe for the eventual creation of a life-permitting planet. This seems to me to be an unwarranted extrapolation, comparing apples to oranges.

Of course, this raises the question of interventionism. It seems logical that the laws of physics that govern the universe are in an entirely different category from whatever governs, and originated, information-processing systems of the kind found in living systems.

Any thoughts?
