It sure would be nice to run into an opponent of Biological Evolution who knew even the first thing about Biology. But mostly if they knew they wouldn’t oppose because then they would understand.

I think this particular phenomenon of ‘codes upon codes’ is an attempt to say that it is more complex than anyone understands or is capable of understanding and therefore the product of de-novo design (believe you me, we understand it is complex, and just because something is hard doesn’t mean it is impossible; quantum mechanics is complex also. And just because something is complex doesn’t mean it needed to be created from nothing; indeed the genome appears as if it was created from numerous and constant revision with all sorts of hitchhikers and crossed out sections) as well as a sort of appeal to some ‘great and secret show’ going on behind the scenes that poor ol’ Scientists just are not privy too , like some sort of hypothetical ‘Bible-code’ within the genome. Much like people who invent a ‘Bible-code’, it isn’t enough that the Bible provides a path to salvation, it also has to have hidden in it secret messages about the future? It isn’t enough for these people that we understand how Biology works and make it work for us, there has to be some secret message running the show behind the curtain.

It is like Biologists are a teenage kid with a car. He may not understand what half the parts do, but he gets the notion of internal combustion, adding gas, turning the wheel and pressing the brakes and gas pedal. Heck he may even know how the check fluids and change the oil. But every time he gets a tune up or buffs a dull spot out of the paint job some critic says “You don’t even HAVE a car! You don’t know how to drive!” and then maybe point out the obvious “Your no mechanic.” But the fact remains that the kid has a useful tool for getting where he is going, he is learning more and more about what is going on under the hood, and he might even pick up a hot chick this weekend.

Happy Holidays Everyone! Have a Merry Christmas, a cool Yule, and a Happy New Year!
