“…no chemical bonds exist between the nucleotide bases along the message-bearing spine of the DNA helix, demonstrating that physical and chemical forces are not responsible for the specific sequencing in the molecule.”

How do can people look in the mirror after writing such seriously twisted nonsense? And, Heartlander, how can you quote this stuff? (No, I'm not going to cry.)

The chemical bonds called phosphodiester bonds hold the nucleotide bases together along the strand. Hydrogen bonds pair the complementary bases between the DNA strands. Be sure that all reactions involving DNA, including the addition or change of the specific sequence, use normal physical and chemical forces.

You are being very dishonest. While the above is correct, Heartlander was speaking of the linear bonds along the strand. All these linear bonds are the same so there is absolutely no possible preference from one sequence to the other. I know that you know that his statement was true and to attack him on what amounts to an irrelevant mistake is totally despicable of you.
