How would "instructions" be imprinted on photons? If I were to measure a photon, what would I have to do in order to "read" these instructions? When the photons hit the earth, what here "reads" the photons? How does it do this? Is this more of a "What if" question, or do you have data supporting this theory?

And technically speaking, the interaction between raw amino acids and sunlight to create life was a strictly chemical reaction, and could have occured in a myriad of other ways. Life can survive without the sun. There are whole colonies of thermophylliac (spelling?) bacteria living on undersea vents discharging minerals and superheated water. If your theory had any weight, you would have to account for this anomoly.
