You seem to be a bit out of your depth and hostile here. It begs the question of just how old you truly are.

Hostile maybe out of my depth No.

Your argument is meaningless information theory is useless in this debate. Regardless of how DNA operates it does not process information (this means it is not a program). Rather DNA ia a template, it expresses information already there in the same way crystals do when they grow. DNA and Crystals have much in common and in a way Life can be seen as a self replicating crystal structure.


DNA is not a base 4 mathematical program it is rather a base 4 chemical template.

Why is the difference between processing information and expressing information important? This is because we can see the expression of chemical information in many common chemical reactions.


We as humans use crystalline structures to build computers and in the same way DNA can be used as an organic computer but in nature both are merely templates. By your logic crystals (which form naturally and spontaneously without an outside creator and which hold massive amounts of chemical information) also must be a proof of outside intervention.... they aren't. However they can be used to process information and to store data the same way DNA does. This processing and storage capacity is more a process initiated by humans rather than an property of the crystal or dna chain.

Yes there is a programmer and that programmer is a man who has learned to use the properties of a natural chemical product.


Your argument should be more along the lines of How DNA increases its informational capacity rather than how it processes or expresses info. However the information increasing capacity of DNA has little to do with the structure of its template but rather more to do with it's ability to form intricate long chains and with outside forces that rearrange this structure.
