The following are examples: "A single letter of the alphabet is specified without being complex. A long sentence of random letters is complex without being specified. A Shakespearean sonnet is both complex and specified. Details of living things can be similarly characterized, especially the "patterns" of molecular sequences in functional biological molecules such as DNA.
No. Totally wrong. Fallacy of the false analogy.
Words are not base pairs. There are hundreds (thoudands) of different words in a sonnet. They are arranged phonetically and in other ways in which various meanings can be inferred, regardless of the actual arrangement, to some degree. Nucleotides are arranged due to chemical bonds, and attraction The analogy is complete bullshit. Nothing but Creationist desperation. Nonsense. Utter nonsense.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
