Does DNA contain digital information?

[CoxRox]

Cox, it's a mold. Just not the kind of mold you need it to be to make your point. You're assuming intent and then pointing to a "mold" as though it is proof of intent. I'm merely trying to explain to you that there need be no such intent. Molds that are used for plastic injection are obviously products of intent, human intent.

DNA, as a template, is also not "dependant" in the sense that you wish it to be. A living structure can in fact be formed without the ancillary structures to support it. This ends in death (but, surprise, not always). In a top down model (your model), why would organisms be born without all of the components required for life? (IE why would some organisms be born without functioning organs?)

Well, I'm trying to establish if DNA is part of a designed system. This is the big question. You say it isn't and I say that so far, from what I've read and studied about it, it sure seems to my mind that 'design' is a vital part of its existence.

For a little background, if you want to use manufacturing analogies and apply them to biology, I;m a former DOD electronics MFG contractor, who now works as an Ag Research consultant. So, by all means, continue.

It's not that 'I' want to use 'manufacturing' terminology etc. But when I find guys like yourself from electronics/computer/manufacturing backgrounds using this terminololgy, then that's what promps me to ask these questions.
