The Master Coder

A recent article at The Creation Club by Duane Caldwell skillfully explains for the creation skeptic how it’s virtually impossible for our infinitely complex world to have spontaneously emerged via Darwinian evolution: DNA and Windtalkers.

The communication employed by the Marines was coded. Coded information always requires someone – an intelligence – to create the code. If that is not obvious, this particular case clarifies things because the communication is double coded – which highlights the intelligence required. It’s quite obvious that there is no process in the universe that can create double coded information without an intelligence behind it.

 

DNA, the building block of all life, depends on such a highly complex coding system that the odds of it assembling itself spontaneously are simply inconceivable.

For DNA to have originated, the following would have had to have occurred:
 
1. An intelligent designer had to create a system of symbols to carry the message. In the case of DNA it is a chemical alphabet that scientist represent by the letters ACGT – representing the nucleobases in DNA – Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, Thymine. These function as the letters of an alphabet.
 
2. An intelligent designer had to create a “language” that communicates a message when the 4 letters are arranged in a certain way.
 
3. An intelligent designer had to arrange the letters in an intelligent, specific ways to encode and transmit the instructions necessary to create chemical words that specify the various traits we see in the many creatures that exist – such traits being things like hair color or eye color.
 
4. An intelligent designer had to create a system capable of decoding the coded message.

Clearly, codes cannot create themselves. They’re are not created by random processes. They require intelligence. In the case of DNA – which science is only beginning to understand – the code requires an intelligence vastly superior to our own. And an intelligent designer, with masterful coding abilities, sounds an awful lot like an omnipotent God…
