Although not knowing the answer to that would not give the slightest weight to your contention (see argument from ignorance), they come from organic chemistry. For instance, RNA strands can form spontaneously under the right conditions (which can be found in nature), and RNA can 'bear information', just not as efficiently and reliably as DNA.

It can certainly be conceptualized but there would still be no reason to ever believe in it... even if an apparently godly being showed up. It just comes back to "Who designed the designer?" "Is it an a superintelligent alien with amazing technology capable of deceiving us?" "Are we living in a simulation?" problem.

I don't accept the premise that DNA can't be explained by natural processes.
But even if I did accept that premise, what makes you think that DNA (or indeed anything) can be explained by unnatural or supernatural processes?
A mind that transcends this universe created it. The proof is in the creation, in the fine-tuning of the universe and in the information in DNA to the molecular machines in the cell.

Um............ since I'm new at this I wonder if you can help me. Can you tell me which of the 40,000 plus sects is the right one? I don't think I want to get annihilated and need to get this right the first time.
Also, do I take the bible (my new found direction for salvation) literally? What do I do when I find contradictions? How am I suppose to resolve atrocities and cruelty?
Believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and be saved.
Wow! I'm convinced!

The best scientists would arguably be the ones in the Academy of Science. Do you really think even a bare majority of them think the best explanation for the origin of DNA is that it was designed? If so, someone has lied to you, and you should be cross with them.

Got any evidence?
Yes, computer codes always come from a programmer, for instance.

CSI is a measure of the quantity of information contained in an item that meets the requirement of being both complex and specified, which shows whether the item is either designed or naturally-occurring.
So Complex Specified information is information that is both complex and specified. That doesn't tell me what it is or what function it has.
- What is the function of complex specified information? (2)
- What does it mean for information to be specified?
- How is the complexity of information measured?
