DNA Proves Existence of a Designer

[Gwaithmir]

Which doesn't address your unsupported claim that complexity in DNA proves the existence of a designer. Your claim is essentially nothing more than an argument from ignorance.

Obviously, complexity is beyond your understanding. But the fact that you cannot understand how something came to be does not indicate that you may conclude it was designed. On the contrary, lack of understanding indicates that you cannot conclude design or anything else. Get and education, numb nuts.

It is not just complex.  Again, it is FUNCTIONAL.  The code works and operates as a code should.

It's fun to watch you obfuscating in order to avoid the responsibility of a counterargument. First you avoided providing proof that complexity in DNA proves a designer, now in order to try distracting us from your faux pas, you shift the goalposts from complexity to operational code. One thing you have established beyond any reasonable doubt is your high level of intellectual dishonesty.

Obviously biological complexity is beyond your understanding, as is the nature of genetic coding. To wit:

1. The genetic code is not a true code; it is more of a cypher. DNA is a sequence of four different bases (denoted A, C, G, and T) along a backbone. When DNA gets translated to protein, triplets of bases (codons) get converted sequentially to the amino acids that make up the protein, with some codons acting as a "stop" marker. The mapping from codon to amino acid is arbitrary (not completely arbitrary, but close enough for purposes of argument). However, that one mapping step -- from 64 possible codons to 20 amino acids and a stop signal -- is the only arbitrariness in the genetic code. The protein itself is a physical object whose function is determined by its physical properties.
   
   Furthermore, DNA gets used for more than making proteins. Much DNA is transcribed directly to functional RNA. Other DNA acts to regulate genetic processes. The physical properties of the DNA and RNA, not any arbitrary meanings, determine how they act.
   
   An essential property of language is that any word can refer to any object. That is not true in genetics. The genetic code which maps codons to proteins could be changed, but doing so would change the meaning of all sequences that code for proteins, and it could not create arbitrary new meanings for all DNA sequences. Genetics is not true language.
   
   
2. The word frequencies of all natural languages follow a power law (Zipf's Law). DNA does not follow this pattern (Tsonis et al. 1997).

The fact that genetic coding is functional does not, in any way, indicate the existence of a designer. Get an education, numb nuts.
