That it isn't coded information in the manner that language is coded information; that communication theory is ill-suited as applied to the genetic context. I was responding, specifically, to these statements, in post #170:
5. Random processes cannot generate coded information; rather, they only reflect the underlying mechanistic and probabilistic properties of the components which created that physical arrangement.

6. Re-phrasing 5, coded information cannot arise by chance. Information requires a sender (a source of intelligence).

7. The information we see in the genetic code of life requires a source of intelligence behind it. It needed a source of intelligence (man) to discover the information and beign to understand it. You cannot have information without intelligence to create it.

And why not? A computer program is certainly coded information in a manner similar to DNA.
