Just because we right now see sections that do not seem to be used at all, or have no purpose, means nothing. The Genome was only sequenced 12 years ago. I can write a function program that can be used in multiple applications that I code, but in it contains other function calls that some applications might not need. Does that mean I do not exist?Well first that doesnt address the fact that DNA as a language is simply a metaphor, however would you code a program where 90% was completely useless junk? No? Why you would think that a all knowing and all powerful god would do that. So this isn't a matter of writing unused functions, but function that are utterly broken and make about 90% of the volume of the code, in other words gibberish. Also dna, unlike any language has no real rules or patterns that it has to follow, it can be utterly random.
Language or code whether perfect or imperfect (in so far as our current perception of that goes), if it carries meaning, we deduce an intelligence behind it.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
