does information like DNA come from a higher being?

Question

information like DNA has to come from somewhere.

where did DNA come from? i thought about evolution but it makes no sense it is not logical. you can't get something from nothing.

Answer 1

You are quite right - the idea that the staggering amount of information found in DNA just 'evolved' is frankly ridiculous.

There is no observed mechanism for creating information. All observed mutations are either info neutral or lossy.

Information implies intelligence.
The information in our DNA implies a creator, namely God.

If you are interested there are quite a few articles on information theory here, some quite technical:

Answer 2

Next time you get a chance to go to school,... stay awake. It is profoundly amazing what you might learn if you stay awake. [information cannot randomly create itself .It take Intelligence to create and also understand the information.] First fragment true. Second fragment FALSE, emphatically so. Information can be stored by the simple act of surviving. The DNA of the creatures that survive to reproduce now contains information relating to survival traits even if the specific creature is dumber than a box of rocks. [New science evidence show that Earth itself maybe in fact at the center of the Universe.] I think I have to demand a link for that one. [Evolution is built on this refusal] No, evolution is built on analysis of fossils to compare DNA samples. It is built on fossil evidence of variations in shape. [Most people do not know that Darwin wrote another book later that said white people were more advanced in the evolutionary state then blacks.So evolution is in fact racist anti-truth belief.] You are denser than osmium crystal. People have good ideas and bad ones all the time. Darwin had a good idea. Then he had a bad idea. BUT... science has a way of weeding out bad ideas. So OF COURSE very few folks know of the other book. It was not supported by science. The first book WAS supported by science. And YOU don't understand logical fallacies or you would know that your claim of evolution being racist ISN'T SUPPORTED by your statements. People who use logic this poorly make me sad. Is THIS the fate of folks who study religion too much?

Answer 3

it is belived that ancient single strand RNA based life forms developed the ability to build proteins and eventually began coding for the double stranded DNA that life on earth is made of today

Answer 4

You haven't thought very much about evolution or read about molecular evolution.

But I liked your statement that it doesn't come from nothing. Because that's what creationists claim about the whole universe. Poof created out of nothing.

Answer 5

It comes from natural selection. You can debate where that comes from. Nature allows the fittest to survive and that is why some traits (DNA) are favored over others.

Answer 6

Nope....DNA of any living being
DNA in itself is information.....(Coded information)
.it comes from the being ancesters....it is a product of the being that posessrd it...I dont see all that mystery that people want to infer from such a wonderful and delicate thing....Did you expect an answe like "Divine"...nope, a product of the ancester, and evolution of the ancester before them......

Answer 7

Nope - no magic man in the sky - google or wiki evolution (it's amazing when you really look at how much research has been done and the consistent findings)...

People used to ask if God made birds fly...

Answer 8

Yes, from scientists, like me.

Answer 9

It depends on whether you believe in "creationism" or "evolution."
