DNA/genetic code as evidence for Creation

[angelosergipe]

Sure. What's so hard about saying he created a language to make us instead of saying he used dust and ribs to make us? Because, you see, now you have the problem of his explanation not making sense to us living in this age. Why would he choose to accommodate the earlier age of people over us, especially considering there are a lot more people on earth now?  

The bible is not a scientific book..... so there is no reason to go into details how he made life.

The bible is not a scientific book..... so there is no reason to go into details how he made life.

But it would be better if it didn't go in the wrong direction:
Plants came before light.
All things were just created instead of millions of years of evolution.
It took five days to make this tiny, little, spec of a planet... but just part of a day to make the trillions of stars in millions of galaxies including all the other planets in the universe.
Man came from clay and breath from gods nostril.
Woman came from the rib of Adam.
Etc...

It's more than just that it's not scientific, it's that it's completely wrong. In the very least an unscientific answer of the sky is not firmament. In no way shape or form is the sky firm, that description is going in the opposite direction of reality. (It says the sky is firm/solid in Hebrew as well, I've heard the improper translation BS enough times by now).

Dr. Francis Collins, director of the Human Genome Project (that mapped the human DNA structure) said that one can "think of DNA as an instructional script, a software program, sitting in the nucleus of the cell."

Perry Marshall, an information specialist, comments on the implications of this.
"There has never existed a computer program that wasn't designed...[whether it is] a code, or a program, or a message given through a language, there is always an intelligent mind behind it."

Just as former atheist Dr. Antony Flew questioned, it is legitimate to ask oneself regarding this three billion letter code instructing the cell...who wrote this script? Who placed this working code, inside the cell?

It's like walking along the beach and you see in the sand, "Mike loves Michelle." You know the waves rolling up on the beach didn't form that--a person wrote that. It is a precise message. It is clear communication. In the same way, the DNA structure is a complex, three-billion-lettered script, informing and directing the cell's process.

This is a copy and paste job from one of many places on the internet where this was previously published. You have used it without citing the reference. Plagiarism and copypasta are a good way to get a forum warning.

This is one. Do not use other people's written work without citing the reference or crediting them. Do not claim that this is your own now, either, because it isn't.

How is replacing the word "dust" with "language" or "code" more detailed?

Also, I think it's worth mentioning Collins is an atheist.

angelosergripe has been added to the restricted group.  I have a feeling he'll be banned soon too since I doubt he will be able to post here in a friendly manner and will ignore the area rules and just start preaching.

I think people take the "code" analogy a bit too far when conceptualizing DNA.  You don't hear anyone rambling on about vesicles being the UPS trucks of cellular physiology.

The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.

Also, science fail.

Brilliant!
