No DNA doesn't process information. DNA crates other life forms when outside forces mutate, rearrange, or otherwise change the template of DNA. Processing does not happen. DNA is merely a template.


Your insults aren't working because you haven't yet figured out what the word processing means.

No, that's completely wrong.

A true template will repeat itself without change. You can stamp out bricks with a brick template, for instance. Put 010101 in and you will get 010101 out (presuming that the proper chemicals are in the proper place at the proper time, at least for our purposes in this debate.

But DNA doesn't just repeat itself. DNA isn't blind. DNA actually PROCESSES the Base 2/Base 4 instruction sets that are represented in its mathematically represented sequences of nucleotides.

In the human software programming world, the "EXIT SUB" command is a useful way to illustrate DNA's radical processing power over and above mere "template" status.

With a template, the data:

Print "Hello"
EXIT SUB
Print "Goodbye" will always yield:
Print "Hello"
EXIT SUB
Print "Goodbye"

But when mathematical instruction sets are actually PROCESSED, a computer will merely output:
Hello

Likewise, when we are creating new medicines in the lab, we insert EXIT SUB commands into the beginning of particular genetic instruction sets in order to effectively "turn off" entire genes.

Now, a "template" doesn't know to turn off various portions of itself, but a DNA system DOES INDEED know to not process certain genes even though all of the actual data for each gene may physically pass through the genetic instruction processor.

Thus, DNA processes data, while templates merely replicate it.

And because this fact is true, Man can turn off various genes WITHOUT removing them from a person's DNA (an amazing achievement, actually).


But alas, I hold out absolutely no hope for you to be able to comprehend how DNA works. You've demonstrated a complete and total misunderstanding of DNA in every single one of your posts to date, even after being corrected, so I expect little or no intellectual improvement in your future posts, either. Goodness, I guess you've been "processed" and found wanting...
