DNA = code

DNA being likened to a type of ‘code’ is an analogy, not an actual classification of what DNA is.

name a code that does not derive from a source of intelligence

No.

The game is rigged. If I can’t think of any you will make an argument from ignorance and conclude “therefore God.”

If I do give some examples, you will just say that those things were created by God. If you believe that God created everything, then even physics and mathematics (which consist of various 'codes') were intelligently designed in your eyes.

You're trying to make people play your game when the dice are clearly loaded.

If the only way you can rationalize belief in God is through dishonesty, then I want no part of it.

In practice, however, DNA is not a code. It is not a cypher or substitution, it is not 'sent' to a receiver who 'reads' it. The majority of it functions in an almost mechanical process, aggregated from numerous chemical interactions. It doesn't even serve as a blueprint- more like a series of molds.

As others have noted, refering to it as 'code' is a simplification that helps us understand dna better by relating it to something we are familiar with. We use this kind of simplification all the time, for many different things.

Compare: Cable modem. Most cable modems are not actually modems (shorthand for modulator/demodulator, referring to their function to transmit and receive digital signals across an analogue medium). Cable lines are almost entirely digital at this point, and cable modems function more like network interface cards than modems. They are simply referred to as modems because they perform the same known and recognized function of establishing connectivity to a WAN.

Compare: Atomic bomb. Nuclear weapons are not bombs that produce an explosion via a combustion reaction; they rather initiate by combining two or more sub-critical pieces of radioactive material to achieve self-sustaining and amplifying critical mass, generating a large pressure wave. They were referred to as bombs because they were originally deployed in the same manner as bombs were, and had an overall effect similar to bombs but on a much larger scale.

Did you get hacked? You actually posted something reasonable.

Knowing who you are and your usual routine this is probably a waste of our time...but what the heck.

"Code" could also just be how us as humans recognize patterns. We recognize faces in clouds, rocks, floor tiles, where no facial patterns were intentionally made. We are evolutionary predisposed to see things as patterns or codes to help make sense of what we see. Because we see patterns as a form of recognition it would make sense we create patterns like the ones you listed.

We have to recognize our own biases when looking at things. The origin of these patterns we see in nature need not have a creator out of necessity. To claim so is a jump in logic, it anthropomorphizes nature adding our own subjectivity to the conclusion rather than being more objective about the conclusion.

DNA = code

code = language / blueprints / music / morse code

See Hume's Fork. We've simply rediscovered a system for determining genetic information, and conceptualized the idea of a god (that is certainly capable of executing codes), however, the relationship between two concepts or ideas has no impact on the contingent.

Even so, this isn't evidence for the existence of god. It's evidence that DNA was engineered by a sentient being. Of course, if you'd like to call any sentient being that created life "god", then I suppose that it works.

DNA is not a code. Word "code" was used just to give it a name. Same as Black hole is not a hole... you are catching on words...

I cant disprove god, believe me I tried but at the same time I can't prove a god, what I can disprove is mans interpretation of god meaning any god from any book written by man.

I will say for sure no one can explain why exsistance happen nore the so called nothing that sprung something.

Good morning.

The cell does not "read" the genetic codes (assuming that they were made by a sentient being for the observation of another sentient being) in the sense that you and I "read" our comments, that is misleading. Rather, it "reads" it in the same way that your keyboard "reads" the keys that you type and "makes" them appear in a new form (on the screen). It is not "listening" or "decoding" the actual meaning of the words, sentences, and paragraphs.

As you've already mentioned earlier; DNA is a physical thing. The ways in which man attempts to label each material component of are codes. However, whether or not the substance is created as a code sent to humanity by god is another question entirely. Surely man's intricate concept of labeling this very special molecule is reminiscent of another man's concept of an elaborate and meticulous creation of life, however, the relationships between these ideas must also only exist in the abstract, and thus the connections of these ideas doesn't affect the functions of the physical world.
