Another discussion,

"Nah, I'm just looking at facts... which is hard for the Religious types to understand... for the most part, religion is a mental disorder, at least the gay stuff is rooted in biology..."

The genetic code is written in biology and it reads a little like this, "No society can be sex-blind because the sexes are complementary." Biology refutes the gay stuff.....

Code is not written by natural processes, no more than computer code comes from them. Nor is there evidence that energy fields and so on created in the Big Bang can self-organize into complex patterns of information that fit a mathematical language which describes them.

This fitting of language is itself, quite fitting. "[T]he laws of nature are written by the hand of God in the language of mathematics." --Galileo

Natural processes do not explain the code that is the plan and design for a bird's wing, a human eye nor their capacity for adaptation and self-healing which seems to be in their design. Mutation is generally degenerative and not a beneficial adaptation but adaptations can be triggered in the code by something degenerative to Life. Mutation used to trigger adaptations can also be used by intelligent design, intelligent breeding of animals. Intelligent selection is far faster than any natural pseudo-selection.

So the code is modified. In some sense, evolutionary biologists seem to be saying that it is not a code at all because they argue that there is no Writer.

But,
"Code is code, whether expressed in binary digits or in the ATCG alphabet of molecular biology. Having long "conceived of genetic information and electronic information as information," we now "have the technical capability to make good on this conception." Gerald Edelman won the 1972 Nobel Prize in Medicine for discovering how antibodies enable the immune system to identify and remember patterns and thereby to attack invaders without harming itself.

Seemingly simple organisms, real or virtual, have solved mazes and performed other complex pathfinding tasks. Computer scientists have experimented with DNA itself as a parallel processor. Professional taxonomy - the time-honored task of classifying all living things - stands on the verge of an electronically driven revolution that harnesses the storage and search capacities of the Internet. Bioinformatics represents merely one tendril of the scientific rhizome that has grown from the double helix. At any level - evolutionary, ecological, organismal, physiological, cellular, or molecular - biology is displaying the "emergent behavior" of "complex adaptive systems." Just as the novel term lex informatica describes the deployment of technological constraints on electronic information as a source of policy, the neologism lex genetica expresses the same idea with respect to bioengineered constraints on genetic information. In short, 'information is information, whether the medium is a double helix or an optical disk.' "

William Dembski's argument about the creation of information by minds, intelligent
design:

On one hand - SETI interprets Information as Intelligent Design. SETI is looking for a high information content signal. If a signal is found, SETI will conclude it is from alien life - i.e. intelligent origin and design. Specified complexity is used as evidence of design.

On the other hand - Evolution interprets Information as a recording of Nature based processes. The inanimate, not the animate...

Life exhibits extremely high information content. DNA alone contains much more information than a whole set of encyclopedias. Evolution assumes that life arose by a series of Nature based processes. In the end, it is all chance. So evolution concludes this high information content in life arose completely by chance.

Why is this the way things are, with a consistent double standard applied to God? For they will accept aliens but not God. It is probably because atheists are the ultimate bigots when it comes to their lil' buzzword "religion." If they begin to sense whatever they feel "religion" is then they seem to run around in circles screaming their heads off. Then they become totalitarians trying to police what you can say to who and when. It is quite an annoying pattern.

But they are the ultimate literalists, every symbol, even the genetic code, is really just matter in motion to them. Ironic, this sort of literalism. It dissolves itself. It is as if you go to the library and say, "Well, this place is full of wood pulp with some strange ink marks on it." and then walk out.

Atheists do not know what they are talking about. In some sense, literally....because they create information when they write and yet they are arguing that mommy Nature selected their code/writing for them by natural selections.

So Nature calls and their usual excrement happens.

Only excrement seems to be selected, naturally.....
