At work.

A good day and well being to yourself indeed!
Ah... where to begin? What to unpack first?
Yup. Things like that have been and probably will continue to be said.
As a common, blue collar worker I must admit to being only able to listen and osmoticaly learn about the rudimentary aspects of biochemistry.
Now of those whose expertise does lie within the fields of genetics and the chemistry biological. I've heard none of them refer to DNA as if it were a 'Code' and so I am rather disinclined to do so either.
One interesting thing I've heard about the DNA stuf in regards to the 'Error correction' is that the only creatures found so far to not develope cancerous cells are Elephants. (NOTE: Quite happy to learn and be corrected here.)
Since cancerous cells are errors which develop 'Uncorrected'.
On top of cancer you also have developmental issues. Some of which are begnin and of no consequence. Some of which are possibility better and some of which are definately detrimental.
As for the principles of chemistry? I think you'll find they are in evidence. 'Denature' a protein and it will, indeed, unfold.
Remove the denatureing agent and, like water forming ice or a snowflake, the protein will easily refold back into its original tangle.
All of the above and how they "Reconcile with my beliefs" ?
I'm pretty confidant that all of my limited ideas, belief and knowledge is sitting quite nicely squared away, thank you very much for enquiring.![Big Grin Big Grin](https://atheistforums.org/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

The order of nucleotides that comprises the code is in arbitrary format that which the laws of chemistry have no bearing upon. How do you reconcile this with your beliefs?
