Post 557 proposes an analogy. IF genetics works just like computer programing, THEN the analogy would be relevant. The problem is, genetics is not "information." Information is an analogy used to explain genetics, but not genetics itself. Genetics has to do with biochemical reactions, not bits of information.
To address the probabilities of all the potential biochemical reactions in the universe, you would need a mathamatical model that takes into account all the known and unknown factors in the universe.
Here's what all the known factors tell us: Life exists. The known factors do not tell us why or how. The unknown factors don't tell us anything because they are unknown.
I disagree. We can view two identical (in appearances) double-helix structures. One such DNA strand might be coded to create an aardvark. The other might be programmed to create an amoebae.
Yet their structures are identical. How do we discern the difference between the two pieces of DNA? Well, we examine the sequence of the genetic coding instructions (A, C, G, and T bases) that form the double-helix structures.
In other words, we tell them apart by examining their data. Data, by the way, is information, contrary to your claim above...
