Is 'faith' really a 'great cop-out'?

[allan175]

Coming to your point Adrian about the dna, would you agree that the 'four letters' in dna comprise a coded language? Because if you do, then would you agree that language, or coded information only comes from a mind? Sure there are patterns in the universe, symmetrical patterns caused by the forces of nature, but a pattern is not the same as language. Language carries a message which needs to be understood or decoded. You need intelligence to decode language. I can make the claim: 'Messages, languages and coded information never,ever come from anything else besides a mind'. Can you provide a single example of a message that did not come from a mind? If you can then I will reconsider my position on dna.

Then are you saying an egg/sperm combination is "intelligent" since once they combine they "decode" the DNA message and produce an organism?
