Re: The plain truth about the function of DNA
The word code , and information on that link are used so people like you can have an easier grasp at what's going on. Not because its a code that says build a protein like this, its just chemical reactions if you claim those are because of some code then so must be all the rest. And we live in a matrix like universe.

And what did University of Washington researchers mean when they use the word "code" in this 2013 research report?
quote:
Since the genetic code was deciphered in the 1960s, scientists have assumed that it was used exclusively to write information about proteins. UW scientists were stunned to discover that genomes use the genetic code to write two separate languages. One describes how proteins are made, and the other instructs the cell on how genes are controlled. One language is written on top of the other, which is why the second language remained hidden for so long.

Re: The plain truth about the function of DNA
Ed, are you familiar with the Dunning Kruger effect? You might want to look into it.

Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. -- Thomas Jefferson
We see monsters where science shows us windmills. -- Phat
It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate
Howling about evidence is a conversation stopper, and it never stops to think if the claim could possibly be true -- foreveryoung

Re: The plain truth about the function of DNA
There are other concepts on that page relevant to Ed.

Instead, Fremdscham (the noun) describes the almost-horror you feel when you notice that somebody is oblivious to how embarrassing they truly are. Fremdscham occurs when someone who should feel embarrassed for themselves simply is not, and you start feeling embarrassment in their place.

Re: I agree - same old argument, different name
Could define in your own words what CSI is, please? The implication I'm getting from poster is that you cannot do so and I would like to see you prove them wrong.
All the best.

The above ontological example models the zero premise to BB theory. It does so by applying the relative uniformity assumption that the alleged zero event eventually ontologically progressed from the compressed alleged sub-microscopic chaos to bloom/expand into all of the present observable order, more than it models the Biblical record evidence for the existence of Jehovah, the maximal Biblical god designer.

As I've already explained, I don't invoke any special meaning by using the term. I simply mean information which is complex and specified. I've already walked you through the definitions of the terms. Any implication that I have not done so is false.
Try to keep up, please.

in your own words
... I simply mean information which is complex and specified. ...
Well that is a start. Like:
Of course if the hours were sunrise to sunset it would be even more complex specified information (an increase in quantity but not quality). Note it is written in code ...
... I simply mean information which is complex and specified. ...
Like the information to form complex salt crystals in specified formations.
Can you please elucidate in your own words any part of DNA function or existence that does not involve chemical bonds and chemical reactions in accordance with the rules of chemistry? It appears you are having a little bit of trouble grasping this simple concept ...
Can you please elucidate in your own words any specific difference in quality rather than quantity between DNA and salt molecules?

The standard meaning... the "rules" "imposed" by natural chemical reactions that govern the translation from DNA to protein. There's no code in DNA, and the "genetic code" is just chemistry. Cool and complex chemistry, but just chemistry.

The definitions you have offered are useless. They involve too many subjective evaluations and are not operational definitions. Two people could easily disagree whether some system possesses CSI because your definitions do not invoke objective measures.
Fail.
{ABE} Your definitions boil down to "it sure looks like CSI to me!"

everything carries the information, complex and specified

Information that is complex and specified ...
... applies to everything, from the smallest known subatomic particle to the largest black hole.
Without it there would be only one uniform sameness.

Ok, , let me get this straight:

You claim that the researchers at the University of Washington were METAPHORICALLY EQUIVOCATING
when they wrote their papers about their recent research findings.

Re: The plain truth about the function of DNA
Half right, as befits your wit.
The researchers, like all scientists, are using metaphor when they describe DNA as a code. You are equivocating in most your attempts to herd reality off a cliff with language.
And thank you for affirming the inverse relationship between use of smilies and "interesting".
