Adrian, earlier you said:
During my research into dna and trying to determine if it does indeed contain 'language' or 'code' I came across this section in an article and thought of your above comment:
'Besides all the evidence we have covered for the intelligent design of DNA information, there is still one amazing fact remaining—the ideal number of genetic letters in the DNA code for storage and translation.
Moreover, the copying mechanism of DNA, to meet maximum effectiveness, requires the number of letters in each word to be an even number. Of all possible mathematical combinations, the ideal number for storage and transcription has been calculated to be four letters.
This is exactly what has been found in the genes of every living thing on earth—a four-letter digital code. As Werner Gitt states: "The coding system used for living beings is optimal from an engineering standpoint. This fact strengthens the argument that it was a case of purposeful design rather that a [lucky] chance" (Gitt, p. 95). '

Consider the English alphabet; it contains 26 letters (27 if you include spaces) and even more if you list all the punctuation etc. That is very complex! DNA on the other hand, is made up of 4 "letters" A,C,G,T and is simply a sequence of pairs.
