Obviously in the background here, and the foreground too, is the Intelligent Design debate. Darwin and his followers advocate an unguided and purely material mechanism of natural selection operating on random genetic variation. Intelligent Design claims to find positive evidence that the mechanism was, indeed, guided--in short, that the software in the cell (DNA) did not write itself.

Hi TXnMA!!!! That the software in the cell "did not write itself" is the real clincher for me. No software ever writes itself. Period. Some neo-Darwinists simply refuse to acknowledge this. Thus all their following arguments rest on thin air.

It will be argued, perhaps, that computer programs can be self-structuring, or self-evolving. But that continues to miss the point: That capability or function must be "loaded in" by the software designer in the first instance.

Nothing that exists is sui generis, self-caused. Not even man. But we "forget this at every sound."

Thanks for the ping to this great article. The Language of God sounds like a great book -- I'll be putting it on my little list....

As an old programmer, very old.. There were very few computer programmers when I became one (in the hundreds).. A computer language must be written by someone.. Having written (and developed) a few of them myself.. It don't happen by accident.. Takes thought and experimentation to do it..

DNA(rna) is a computer language except not for a computer, exactly.. To think it developed itself is silly in the extreme.. It takes planning toward a plan.. God does not make bluebirds, bluebirds do.. according to plan..

Mans DNA runs the computer(body), mans software is his spirit.. for whatever its worth both are needed the computer and the software.. DNA is the electronics, the spirit allows the computer to function.. Amazing that this concept escapes the so-called super sophisticated computer people.. There is a metaphorical imprint.. Computers are a good metaphor.. up to a point.. Computers are so primitive... and cannot be "born again".. Born again "beyond" DNA.. which is obviously a language lacking much.. To be remedied soon hopefully..
