RE: Is there a legitimate argument for design?
The amount of information stored in the Rocky Mountains is staggering. Does that mean they were intelligently designed?

RE: Is there a legitimate argument for design?
DNA does not contain the instruction set to build an organism, so your question is meaningless.

Re: DNA evolves
| Ed67 writes: the blueprints found in the DNA molecule. |
Ah yes, the ever so popular and yet terribly misleading DNA as a blueprint analogy. A blueprint specifies every single dimension and every single detail of a building, from height to floor spacing to wiring and plumbing. DNA doesn't actually specify very much at all. That's not how it functions. It in fact does NOT proscribe every single detail of what an organism is going to look like and does not contain detailed instructions about how to create an organism. DNA is a wondrous molecule and there is a great deal to marvel at, there's really no need to rely on claims about it that are false.

I am not introducing a new concept. I'm debunking the idea that you introduced, that of DNA as a blueprint.

Others here are doing a marvelous job already, and you are ignoring their points. I have no reason to believe I'd be any more successful than they would. You are a troll.

Re: What does the CODE in DNA do?
You still have yet to explain why you keep citing James Watson to support your bizarre ideas that Watson himself says are only for the uneducated.

Well, I know you got one of them from James Watson, who thinks intelligent design is only for the uneducated. It's almost like you and Watson were using the word "code" in completely different ways. Food for thought.

Re: What does the CODE in DNA do?
You keep quoting James Watson as if his comments support your position when he has explicitly rejected your position and you ask what's wrong with us. Curious.

I see. So your understanding of the implication of DNA is superior to that of one of the people who discovered its structure. Curiouser. Edited by subbie, : Tyop

So, you've moved on to the next chapter of the IDiot's playbook; try to get suspended so you run back to your sandbox full of other IDiots and tell them you got banned because we couldn't refute your arguments. How very unoriginal and transparent.

Neither. It's an observation. I'd never invite anyone to leave. If/when I get tired of you, I'll just stop reading your verbal vomitus. And I don't have the authority to suspend or ban anyone, so I there'd be no point in my threatening to.
