DNA Proves Existence of a Designer

[Whateverist]

Can anyone answer where the information bearing properties of DNA come from?

Although not knowing the answer to that would not give the slightest weight to your contention (see argument from ignorance), they come from organic chemistry. For instance, RNA strands can form spontaneously under the right conditions (which can be found in nature), and RNA can 'bear information', just not as efficiently and reliably as DNA.

So apparently the OP thinks the current state of scientific understanding of the inorganic to organic transformation is inferior to the xtian theory that the information in DNA was put there by their eternal creator.  I suppose he would have to think attributing the creation of life to a leprechaun would still be superior to admitting we only know as much as science can verify at this point.

Personally I'm not ashamed of the current state of knowledge concerning origins.  Given the effort I've given that enterprise I count myself damned lucky to learn that much.  I certainly don't feel so lacking that I need the fig leaf of creationism to cover my nakedness.

CDF47,

I don't accept the premise that DNA can't be explained by natural processes.

But even if I did accept that premise, what makes you think that DNA (or indeed anything) can be explained by unnatural or supernatural processes?

A mind that transcends this universe created it.  The proof is in the creation, in the fine-tuning of the universe and in the information in DNA to the molecular machines in the cell.

Please describe the creature with such a mind.  Would you say it is more leprechaun-ish, centaur-like or perhaps more along the lines of a big foot?
