Signature in the Cell: DNA as Evidence for Design, beside Nature's Laws/Fine-Tuning.
#13
RE: Signature in the Cell: DNA as Evidence for Design, beside Nature's Laws/Fine-Tuning.
@Nishant Xavier

Quote:1. Codes are always evidence of design.
2. The genetic code in DNA is a code.
3. Therefore, the genetic code in DNA is evidence of design.

#1 is not immediately obvious, as natural codes can evolve via the hit and miss of natural selection. In fact, it’s fairly well agreed (among people who know more about this than you and I do) that DNA evolved from RNA which evolved from proteins.

#2 mistakenly conflates things like computer codes and cryptography with the chemical reactions that form DNA. The word ‘code’ has different meanings.

#3 is therefore not established.
