DNA is a wondrous molecule, surrounded by amazing molecular machinery. CDF thinks this is a clear sign of an external creator entity, while we think it's a product of biochemistry, complex biochemistry indeed, but not requiring any extra-universal being.
CDF's predisposition towards engineering can have certainly biased him towards his conclusion.
Evolution happens, but CDF can only accept it to go so far... never across Genus, for in our one hundred years of scientific research, we haven't seen any such crossing. Perfect misunderstanding, perfect incapability to extrapolate, all for the sake of what is written in the book taking priority.
CDF has little to no education on religious philosophy and couldn't care less about metaphysics.
CDF thinks, as many believers do, that the metaphysical realm, that of souls and angels and demons and ghosts and gods and other perfect concepts, shares the hierarchical structures between individuals that humanity has in countries, or states. The king is the lord and we the subjects must bend the knee. The master is the lord and we the slaves must bend the knee.
Coupled with this comes his irrational belief that the bible is somehow inspired by this extra-universal entity... only inspired, because, although the entity could fashion molecular machinery, it was impossible for it to go beyond and actually write a proper timeless guide book... it needs to be read through the lens of the mentality of the time when it was written, for it was indeed written by people living at that time. People who may have only had similar beliefs as CDF and had the need to share those in writing... no inspiration required as far as I can tell.
Which tells us that a human-made book, made some 2000 years ago and filled with superstition, is taking priority over actual scientific research and confident extrapolation. It is a sad mind that allows itself to be so misguided.
It is sad that someone apparently so interested in these things will never be able to learn about them properly, because of the conflict with dogma.
I found it funny when he said, "Science has had it's years to explain...", which is an admittence that nothing he's talking about is scientific. It's just making stuff up, otherwise known as theology. If there was evidence for what he was saying, that too would be science.
