It all has to do with transcription control (which they confuse with translation, cannot even get basic Science correct in this Creationist garbage) the modification of DNA binding proteins called histones and the mechanism of transcription, the enzyme RNA polymerase. The only “Code” is that a triplet RNA codon specifies an amino acid. This is simple DNA modification and interaction with DNA binding proteins that regulate when the gene is on or off. Translation takes place at the Ribosome, but I guess when you are completely ignorant of basic Biology it might be easy to confuse the two.

That's what happens when you learn your "science" from fundamentalist or creationist websites.

My dear Allmendream,

You certainly get very emotional whenever the Church of Darwin gets challenged. While your minor point is technically correct, it fails to address the main point. In other words, you strain at gnats but have no trouble swallowing camels. Moreover, Creation Evolution Headlines is writing for the layman, so they were probably trying to avoid getting too technical...surely they know the difference between trasciption and translation! Yes, transcription is conducted by RNA polymerase and translation is done by ribosome. But both are needed to make proteins. After all, what good is a transcript all by itself? This fact in no way changes the main point of the article.

==The only “Code” is that a triplet RNA codon specifies an amino acid. This is simple DNA modification and interaction with DNA binding proteins that regulate when the gene is on or off. Translation takes place at the Ribosome, but I guess when you are completely ignorant of basic Biology it might be easy to confuse the two.

Then your beef is not with Creation Evolution Headlines. They were simply relaying how Darwinist science journals refer to this process. They are the ones who found a code that regulates DNA code. It was they who referred to CTD and histones as “codes.” So if you find this area of science to be garbage, then you should take it up with your Darwinist co-religionists over at Science.

In short, I still maintain my original position, and since you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about, the article from Creation Evolutuion Headlines still stands.
