So then the big question. If in the SETI case, IP would be suspected just at the detection of a narrow bandwidth (completely void of knowing the existence of R or not), why then when we very clearly have the presence of T, R, and O in the case of DNA code, is it not considered to be IP?
Partly because we do not "clearly" have the presence of "T", "R" and "O" in the case of DNA, and partly because your criterion is not used by scientists 'cos of being stupid.
But you already have a thread on which to be wrong about this subject. Why butt in here to be daft on a thread specifically intended to get away from generalized creationist stupidity and to just deal with SETI?

Re: Not just SETI
The title of the thread rather suggests that it is to do with SETI and ID along with comparisons between the two. JBR's post seems to be eminently on topic, however wrong, vague or incomprehensible he may be in his argumentation and conclusions.
No, look, the question is how can we detect intelligence among all the information we get from the stars. That's a good question. Someone talking about DNA is not addressing this question, but rather seizing the opportunity to be wrong about genetics.
