1) DNA is not merely a molecule with a pattern; it is a code, a language, and an information storage mechanism.
2) All codes are created by a conscious mind; there is no natural process known to science that creates coded information.
3) Therefore DNA was designed by a mind.

If you can provide an empirical example of a code or language that occurs naturally, you've toppled my proof. All you need is one.

In the beginning of the 20th century amid an atmosphere of scientific revolution and discoveries, Albert Einstein fashioned his theory of general relativity. The basic tenet being that matter converts into energy and energy into matter (E=mc2). Relativity also proposed that gravity alters space and time; that the universe is decelerating; and that it is expanding. Deceleration and expansion implied an initial explosion of the universe, and indeed, a beginning. Einstein's Relativity completely uprooted Kant's science and philosophical notions. The universe is FINITE. Subsequent observations have continued to solidify the theory of relativity down to this very day. Roger Penrose, a leading astrophysicist of our day, declared in 1994 that Einstein's theory of general relativity was "the most accurately tested theory known to science." (This after confirming the theory to a precision of 99,999,999,999,999 parts in a hundred trillion.) Yet, Einstein's own theory bothered him as it bothered most scientists (and still does). The physics itself was not the problem but rather the philosophical implication of Einstein's findings. For, to have a beginning necessarily implies one who began it. To have a point in time which can be called "the first moment" in time and space and matter and energy means that before then there was nothing. The question then is: where did this come from? And how? and by who? The implication then is there must be a Supreme intelligence transcendental to space, matter, and time. The Big Bang implies God.

No, not all codes are created by a conscious mind. DNA is proof other wise.

ALL information is ultimately 'coded'. 'coding' is simply how information is represented. I can represent 'red' many ways. 650nm wavelength (might be off on my nm, but no matter). I can define it as #FF00000. I can define it as the 41degree split of white light through a prism composed of water droplets.

All of those are codes. All of them have to be interpreted.

So methionine is coded ATT (I don't have time to look up if it really is. :P I'm pretty sure I'm remembering wrong here). But if another species looked at DNA, would they necessary call it Adenosine and Thymine? Or might they call it 3L and 2L? Or some other symbol I can't type because it doesn't exist in any human language? Maybe they'll create a special set of 64 characters, one to represent each triplet and thus each codon.

So no, your system falls apart in #2. Information storage and processing can happen anywhere there is an abundance of available energy.

Absolutely...How can something as wonderful and complex as DNA simply come about as a result of trial and error, or a major fluke of 'evolution'?
If someone were to throw 100 marbles on the ground, can anyone tell me the odds that the marbles will form a perfect 10x10 square, without any external influence?? Next to impossible, i would think...Now if 100 marbles cannot form a 10x10 square without some kinda help, how can the amzingly complex DNA structure just 'happen'??

OK. My example is DNA.

This is the end result of a long string of mutations that occurred at random. Whenever a mutation occurred that provided a better chance for the organism to live better than its parents, it was more likely to pass that mutation on to its offspring. Maybe there were other methods to pass characteristics to offspring, but they were more prone to being disrupted, and thus causing offspring with defects. DNA was a better method, and so organisms using that method tended to prosper until they replaced all the other mechanisms. But it happened at random, with no designer. Thus, it occurred naturally, and your argument just fell over.

2 and 3 are false assumptions.

example of a code or language that occurs naturally: deoxyribonucleic acid

Why are you trying to prove god when he is just an imaginary friend for adults. Get a girlfriend or boyfriend. Which ever way you swing and get a life.

DNA is not proof of god.

Your assumption and conclusion are erroneous. It is possible that everything we think, feel, touch, hear, believe, sense, taste, smell, you name it is in fact virtual, and everything science or religion puts forward is virtual

Substitute the word 'DNA' for 'cancer' and then ask if it is conclusive proof of your god.
