The Problem with Christians

[Esquilax]

I gave you a a perfectly reasonable definition of intelligence and showed you how perfectly DNA fits the definition. You then completely avoided the question, "How is it that this does not qualify as intelligent?" I would like an answer to this please.

I presume you know that DNA senses errors, retains the knowledge of what is correct and what is incorrect sequencing and conducts complex repair procedures. If this is not the case, I can point you to any one of hundreds of papers laying it out for you.

My point was that at no time did you establish that what DNA does is "sensing," nor that it "knows" anything, let alone remembers. You just said those things as fiat assertions and expected me to prove you wrong, which I don't really need to do for a claim where every important factor was simply demanded to be true without justification. You're asserting agency to things that you can't possibly demonstrate agency for.
