"It is the shape of the protein molecule that is important and that is determined by the order of the nucleotides."
Ok.
"However, there are many 'substitutions' in amino acids that will result in related proteins that perform the same tasks so the sequence is not 'absolute' in all cases"
"There is no direct correlation between human computer code and DNA."
I didn't say there was a direct correlation. I said they are similar...I made a comparison, because without the DNA - the instruction manual - the process would be nonexistant.
It appeared you were headed in that direction and I wanted you to reconsider the connection between a human analogy and the reality.
Even in this statement you have injected a bit of anthropomorphization through the analog of 'the instruction manual'. If you have the understanding that it is an analogy to the process and not the cause then this is fine, but if you drag along the need for an author as a necessary property of an instruction manual with that analogy then you are incorrect.
Since I cannot read your mind I have to infer your intent (and direction) from previous posts.
