DNA Proves Existence of a Designer

[Anomalocaris]

That’s why software engineers are not scientists.

Being an engineer means one could recite some of what science has discovered that has immediate application to a task.   It is somewhat like a Christian could recite the Bible, the Muslim could recite the Koran, the Buddhist can chant a mantra or you can chant the nonsense about irreducible complexity, they were told what is true and how to apply it, and have no real ability to replicate, validate or extend the process of original discovery.  

But being an engineer does not even begin to bridge the gap to actually doing science, which is a process of active discovery and validatiom of models that can demonstrably provide predictive analogues to the going’s on in the real world, and is thus quite unlike a Christian reciting the Bible, the Muslim reciting the Koran, the Buddhist chanting a mantra or you chanting irreducible complexity.

A software engineer know it takes a programmer to write a code.  They see a code in DNA and know it didn't write itself.  It's that intuitive.

Intuition is wrong.

A software engineer has no background in chemistry to understand the scope of possible organic chemistry over hundreds of millions of years.  He has no background in earth science to understand the conditions under which these organic chemistry operates.  He has no conception of the order of magnitude of individual trials possible at molecular level on a stage the size of the earth.

A programmer who has some real exposure to actual science would understand how narrow the confines of a few artificially created languages and artificially created machines really are and how little that equips him to opine what is possible in the real world outside of his keyboard, and shut up.
