The DNA code is protected by another code, and is read with a machine that reads a third code. This is an emerging picture from ongoing research into DNA translation, as reported in Science...

Although not exactly the same as my conjectures on previous threads, it would appear scientists are indeed finding codes upon codes, just as THIS creationist predicted :o)
I’ve long wondered if DNA is serial in nature. Life seems to prefer harmonics over serial tones. I’d be willing to bet that DNA is more like a Bach fugue — a rich, contrapuntal array of complex chords — than it is like a simple tune picked out note by note.
What’s the frequency, Kenneth?
I have a feeling what is at work is far beyond our wildest imagination. I very much like your analogy. I was thinking in terms of computers having codes upon codes (like binary, windows, MS Word, etc). But your analogy is soooo much better!
All of nature is just like colliding billiard balls. Nothing requiring an intelligence behind it. Nothing to see here! Move along!
The frequency occupies the gateway to the infinite.
LOL. I would move along. But just thinking about the complexity of life leaves me standing in awe.
Opportunity smiles for FR cartoonists : ancient genes popping out/crawling out of one’s JEANS, coiled around one’s belt, slithering out of pockets, laced above socks... Do we have any cartoonist here with imagination?
If I make it to the Pearly Gates, I won't be surprised to find out that the patterns and sequences of Bach's works formed a sort of audible Map of Heaven.
(Our son is named Johann, after Bach — a decision Mrs Chan and I made long before Baby Chan was conceived.)
If DNA really is more like a fugue than a simple sequence of notes, I won't be surprised. The Universe seems to be both recursive and harmonious. The term "music of the spheres" may turn out to be a more apt analogy than anyone knew.
but....but...but.. Didn’t all this happen with a Big Bang?
< \sarcasm>
Thanks for the ping.
lol
That's what happens when you learn your "science" from fundamentalist or creationist websites.
==It all has to do with transcription control (which they confuse with translation, cannot even get basic Science correct in this Creationist garbage) the modification of DNA binding proteins called histones and the mechanism of transcription, the enzyme RNA polymerase.
My dear Allmendream,
You certainly get very emotional whenever the Church of Darwin gets challenged. While your minor point is technically correct, it fails to address the main point. In other words, you strain at gnats but have no trouble swallowing camels. Moreover, Creation Evolution Headlines is writing for the layman, so they were probably trying to avoid getting too technical...surely they know the difference between trasciption and translation! Yes, transcription is conducted by RNA polymerase and translation is done by ribosome. But both are needed to make proteins. After all, what good is a transcript all by itself? This fact in no way changes the main point of the article.
==The only “Code” is that a triplet RNA codon specifies an amino acid. This is simple DNA modification and interaction with DNA binding proteins that regulate when the gene is on or off. Translation takes place at the Ribosome, but I guess when you are completely ignorant of basic Biology it might be easy to confuse the two.
Then your beef is not with Creation Evolution Headlines. They were simply relaying how Darwinist science journals refer to this process. They are the ones who found a code that regulates DNA code. It was they who referred to CTD and histones as “codes.” So if you find this area of science to be garbage, then you should take it up with your Darwinist co-religionists over at Science.
In short, I still maintain my original position, and since you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about, the article from Creation Evolutuion Headlines still stands.
I point this out. GGG says I am getting emotional, Science is a Church (which GGG means as a slur), admits I am correct, and says that I don’t know what I am talking about.
Go back to your HIV-AIDS denying granola eating anti-corporate coffee enema having postmodernist raw foodist clan of geocentricist anti-Science Luddites.
Typically -- whether dealing with DNA, RNA like the polymerases, or proteins like the histones packaging the DNA and influencing it's expression -- the key step in zeroing in for investigation on those sequences likely to functionally important is identifying sequences conserved across evolutionary lineages. Evolution (the assumption of common descent) tells you where to look. Knowing where to look is often the first and crucial step in fruitful scientific research.
