Typical. Now that we already know there is DNA you are quite comfortable with "looking inside ourselves" for the answer. How much success did that have in discovering DNA in the first place? Or all the discoveries that where necessary to enable DNA to be discovered? How nice it must be to accept only what you are comfortable with and deny the rest calling it "voodoo science".
We can try using voodoo science and create computers, light bulbs, electricity for the microwave, and cars to drive my lazy ass to work, Blue Ray players and still have thankless jerks to insult our progress.
Slight rewording from your original statement but that is still accurate to your way of thinking correct?

no info
Until you come to understand that a comunication system, per Shannon's model, ALWAYS has an encoder -> a code -> and a decoder, using agreed upon symbols, all within the same system, independent of our own observation, you will never get the point being made here
This is not a description of DNA sorry. It is a description of code, but not DNA. DNA has a built in mistake maker that changes the code over time. It may resemble a code, but its not a code as you have so adamantly defined it. No code produced by intelligence includes a random mistake maker that results in a completely unknown output. There would be no such use for a code of this nature except to produce a code that is attempting to resemble the non-code nature of DNA.
Living creatures produce all known codes.
Known codes! So you deny the possibility of discovering something different from what is known. Like when we didn't know about bacteria,. Back then the only known life was big, god made life, so anything small cant be made by god. Odd, but if thats how you want to think its your business. I think it smells like a logical fallacy.
