Re: Useful analogy, but just an analogy.
Firstly, my humble apologies to admin for having two logins. I'm also 12345. I couldn,t remember the password I used on the work computer now that I'm at home.
Yes it has gotten silly but isn't that the point? The analogy has broken down when pushed.
OK I was using Newtonian physics instead of Einsteinian (I have no idea how I should spell or even use this word). I responded to this topic mainly because of other threads where a computer scientist says "DNA is just like a computer language, I have proved this about computer languages therefore evolution is false". This is a classic strawman, DNA is not just like other languages so anything you prove about other languages may not say anything about DNA. To pre-empt brad, if I may be so bold, the DNA language is an artificial human construct existing as an emergent property of the natural world filtered through the human conciousness.
