DNA isn't a code and perhaps you'd best explain this "arbitrary" nature you're going on about. Doesn't sound particularly divine to me.

For that matter you should explain why we're mucking about with biochemistry at all and why you aren't fuelled by Divine Will itself.

Face it, you're a walking sack of what looks suspiciously like dirty seawater for a good reason.

It would be pretty remarkable if it didn't fit after a few billion years of coevolving, much of this time with many generations per year.

Nah!

I'm not smart enough to know what you're talking about.
But I don't have to be smart to understand that you think you've got this one covered with your intelligence, and yet you think the god that did it just happens to be the one you believe in....out of the thousands that have been made up.

Perhaps your intelligence is being pulled back by your incredible arrogance.
