[QUOTE="Ophiolite, post: 77660771, member: 234799"] Thank you. That was helpful. On the basis of these definitions I can state with 100% certainty that DNA is not a code. It contains no words, letters, or signs. It does not contain any messages, secret or overt. It is not a system of numbers, letters, or signals. Etc. What we have here is an example of what occurs when equivocation enters the arena. It is unfortunate the phrase "genetic code" was ever introduced. It was doubtless a convenient simplification to describe the chemistry of DNA by analogy to codes, with which many people were already familiar. But just as the map is not the territory, the analogy is not the thing it is analogous to. DNA has the chemical potential to initiate the construction of proteins. Change the precise chemistry of a DNA strand by mutation and a new protein is produced. You seem to keep saying this cannot happen, yet it has been observed and validated many times. What leads you doubt what is well established? [/QUOTE]
