Well, there is a difference between being intelligently designed and appearing intelligently designed. Or is there? ... I don't know.
I too would like to see some citation.
"If DNA is 'intelligently' designed or have the appearance as such creationists will point to a divine architect. Nothing can be proven. Hypothesis: everything is interrelation with each other. The cell structure cooperate to enhance their survival. This approach identifies instinct on a primordial level without the need of a God."
The average person has about 100 loss of function variants in their DNA, with about 20 genes that are completely inactivated. That doesn't seem like a very intelligent design.
It is pretty amazing, though. I like drawing analogies between DNA code and binary code with computers. The basic structure of DNA changes, is after all, like computer languages, relatively simple, but it gives rise to such complexity.
41. The structure of DNA appears to be intelligently designed, what are the implications?
How intelligent would it be to create DNA where 99% of it is unexpressed?
That's like building a house and walling off 99% of it.
Clearly, 99% waste should do the trick. No.This reduces the chance that a copy error will mess up something important. So this aspect is not "unintelligent," so to speak.
Intelligence has nothing to do with it, intelligence design is a result of those who can't bear to give up their belief in their particular God, so they cast around for any tatty reason to believe in their God.41. The structure of DNA appears to be intelligently designed, what are the implications?
But look, when we design a watch or an atomic bomb, we use our prefrontal cortex. So intelligent design requires a prefrontal cortex, the universe does not have a prefrontal cortex so the universe or God does not design anything.
Clearly, 99% waste should do the trick. No.
The universe does actually have a prefrontal cortex. It's located in the Horsehead Nebula.
