[quote:nomuse (NLI) 411948:MV80NjczNjZfODIwMDYxNV8yQUY5NEUwOQ==] Heh. Re the OP's #2: Random processes can duplicate the symbol systems of a code. Think of a cloud in the shape of a letter -- (or a hair on a piece of film that looks like a letter "C"). The natural world also contains symbolic abstractions that communicate information. Take the coloring on a poisonous amphibian. The coloring is not the poison, but it is an unambiguous symbol meaning "look out; poison is here!" Of course symbolic abstractions have nothing to do with DNA. Just pointing out yet another way the point was not thought out clearly. [/quote]
Original Message
The starting point of this discussion is my central thesis, which is:
1) DNA is not merely a molecule with a pattern; it is a code, a language, and an information storage mechanism.
2) All codes are created by a conscious mind; there is no natural process known to science that creates coded information.
3) Therefore DNA was designed by a mind.
If you can provide an empirical example of a code or language that occurs naturally, you've toppled my proof. All you need is one.
