What do language, linguistic & computer programs tell us about DNA and the origin of life?

Question

How do language, linguistics and computer programming support the view of intelligent design over naturalism?

Answer 1

Information exists in numerous forms. There is no observation nor any reasonable hypothesis for information arising from nothing. Natural selection and the hypothesis called evolution cannot explain the origin of information contained within DNA. Reproduction is a lossly communication mechanism for information. The only reasonable conclusion available from information theory and from scientific observation is that greater, not less, information must have been encoded within the DNA of organisms in the past.

It is true that we do not see new biological designs appearing on Earth, but that doesn't argue against a designer; it argues more strongly for designs that originated in an unobservable past.

With all due respect to the previous post, we do not have evidence that complex organisms came from simpler organisms. That "evidence" is simply unsupportable and prejudiced interpretation of the fossil record.

Finally, the argument that suboptimal design is an argument against a designer is nonsense. It (a) begins with a false premise (God said it was good, not optimally designed), (b) fails to acknowledge the Biblical account for information loss (sin), and (c) doesn't recognize that even arguably suboptimal designs (such as optic nerves that reduce retinal area) remain remarkable sufficient for their function.

Answer 2

hey, it's the old "who cooked the meal argument".

we know computer programs are designed because we have seen them being designed by humans, but we have not seen irreducibly complex biochemical systems being designed, so we can’t conclude they were. But we have a load of evidence that they came from simpler organisms.

Also, consider this line of thought:
1. An omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent creator God would create organisms that have optimal design.
2. Organisms have features that are suboptimal.
3. Therefore, God either did not create these organisms or is not omnipotent, omniscient or omnibenevolent.

If anything, it's incompetent design.
