Thought of this evidence for the existence of God and would value your thoughts on this forum, am I missing something?
Watched the film “The Imitation Game” about the Enigma code the other day and it got me thinking about codes. Codes are an amazing invention, the whole modern world runs using codes, computers store information using codes and then use coding languages to process that information. Without codes the modern world would grind to a halt pretty quickly. Codes are a mark of an advance civilization as they allow efficient storing and passing on of information, the ancient Egyptians for example invented hieroglyphs to record information for future generations. The discovery of a code is proof of an intelligent being behind the code, this is why we spend millions listening to noise from space in the hope of discovering a coded message from another life form. Should we ever discover such a code it would be conclusive proof that intelligent life exists outside out planet. A code could not come about by chance or natural selection as the code has to be complete and whole to be any use at all, a code with a few errors would be useless as any programmer will tell you.
One of the most complex codes known to man is DNA, this stores all the information for the growth, functioning and reproduction of all living things. One single strand of DNA contains all the information and instructions to create a human being starting from 2 cells, over 3 billion base-pairs worth of information! Just think how complex a task it would be to encode the instructions for an unskilled person to build a simple machine like a bicycle from raw materials. How much more infinitely complex a human is, yet every single cell in our body has within it all with instructions the cell needs to create a new life, all encoded into a microscopic strand of DNA. Whatever your view on evolution it would seem evident that the DNA code within our cells could not have come about by chance, there must have been an intelligent being to create the code. And therefore since all life on earth needs DNA to function and reproduce, life itself could not have come about by chance. Proof God exists?!
