No. Words are not material things. They do not exist in the physical world. Words are dependent on our minds subjectively perceiving them. The base pairs that comprise a DNA helix are materially important - like an organ in the body. Without DNA the cell will eventually die. DNA moleculues are to the nucleus of a cell what the brain matter is to the skull for the entire body.

I see what you're saying, but DNA material on it's own is the same as paper. It's nothing but a bunch of chemicals with no information to impart...unless it's organized into a message bearing material.
