You continue to miss his point.

No I don't. His comment on Behe's book is irrelevant to the discussion of whether DNA is like code. Plus, I ignore your red herring, since the "book report" you keep referring to is not germane. You are blind to the fact that computers compute because humans designed them that way. Computers do not compute because they compute due to the fact they compute. Something designed them, us.

Computers, whether embodied in silicon or cells, are material and do not require angels to push them around. Whether cells exhibit algorithmic behavior or not, they are behaving according to natural laws.

Nothing Shapiro or Yockey have to say about the behavior of cells requires outside design or guidance in order for evolution to occur. Shapiro specifically addresses the question of front loading of information and denies it exists. Yockey specifically addresses the question of irreducible complexity and says it doesn’t exist.

As for how the first cells originated, an honest person will say he doesn’t know.
