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

[CoxRox]

Bozo, I think there's more to it than 'its the lazy choice for the masses'. They probably haven't thought about it and as you say not bothered to ask questions because they've been conditioned not to think for themselves. I'm glad I'm not one of the 'sheep' and have made a dash for it (in terms of free thinking and questioning).

Leo, I'm reading up on dna at the minute. I've found this interesting site which I'm going through:
http://ds9a.nl/amazing-dna/ (dna seen through the eyes of a coder) and I've emailed some other guy to clarify some things so once I've got enough info it will be interesting to see if you were correct when you said of dna: '....it does not mean it is a code'.

Leo, I couldn't resist posting this. It's not too long an article but a bit too long to past here so I've just picked out some interesting words and sentences from the article. The full article is from here:
http://www.accessexcellence.org/RC/AB/IE...e_rDNA.php

....the analogy of language. ....the foundation of a communication system, Let us think of DNA as the totality of information needed to reproduce any organism. It is, in a manner of speaking, a language. ....the rules of grammar render language intelligible. By a similar process, all the random information in the DNA molecule is made specific and meaningful through the very precise ordering of the A, T, G, and C bases. :

Letters: Nucleotide Bases
Words: Codons
Sentences: Genes
Book: DNA

But DNA's store of information comprises more than just four bases arranged into sixty-four different codons; just as the words of a language can be put together to form an infinite number of texts, so the codons on the DNA molecule can be ordered in innumerable ways.
