I would argue (and this is really just a semantic point) that it's more productive or instructive to think of biology as being literally a computational phenomenon. The substrate is different, the instruction sets are different, the rules are different... But ultimately it's just computing and iterating on a mind-bogglingly massive amount of information, on a time scale that is difficult for us to wrap our heads around.
