"Why couldn't a creator intelligently design an evolutionary process?"
My thoughts exactly. How amazing is the DNA molecule? Doesn't it make more sense that this molecule, with it's endless verity and ability to adapt to even the harshest of conditions, has been designed, not the cell, or the organism that is a result of it's adaptations.
Still no proof of that though, so it would only be a guess.
I used to have a mental picture of human DNA containing all the information needed to create a human being. I think this may overlook some interesting details.
Recent studies, I believe, concern themselves with "mitochondrial DNA". If I understand correctly, this is DNA which is passed from mother to child in the egg cell but outside the paired chromosomes. Such DNA has been used to draw conclusions about population migrations throughout the world.
Every living human gained intra-cellular material from their mother. (Is there also a contribution from the sperm cell outside the DNA? I don't know.) For those who understand this, is it thought that human DNA contains all the information to create the "machinery" of cell function? Or does cell function pass by cell division from one generation of cells to the next independent of the DNA? If so, then there would be no requirement that the DNA contain information regarding this "machinery", unless there was a survival benefit to recreating this machinery from its blueprints periodically. Such periodic re-creation might prevent problems with propagating damaged machinery.
