Re: On agnosticism and intelligent design
BackResponding to a message I received about DNA, language, and sentience. Original message, from YT user Xechorizo: Hello there! I really enjoy your arguments against strong atheism, as they prove logically the agnostic stance while dismissing the popular concept of fence-sitting and decisive standstill in everyday life, yet reinforcing the correct morsels of atheism that reinforce our idea. However, I came across an idea online recently when looking for more fun brain teasers regarding DNA. It states that since DNA follows a certain code (or language) pattern, that it conforms to the definition of a design and, that since information and design must come from will and intent, that it proves the existence of a higher being behind the curtain. I know you may very well be no biologist, but you have an uncanny knack for definitions, as well as laymen analogies that provide an accurate depiction of whatever it is that might get us closer to an objective reality. I've heard some counter arguments on this "DNA is a language" theory but most are over my head and involve defining DNA as a cipher rather than a code or organized language. Would you be able to shed any light on this particular argument for me, in either video or text? Once again I deeply respect your standpoints as they have shown me the logical flaws in my arguments against theism, while also providing me an excellent reassurance against the beckoning atheists with just as outrageous of claims. Thanks for your time! PS: A text quasitranscription as well as a lecture can be found here on what I mean: http://cosmicfingerprints.com/ifyoucanreadthis.htm
