David Turell: The issue is information. Where did it come from? My answer is from intelligence. Only an intelligence can make a code. - But then where did the intelligence come from in the first place? Only evolution can make intelligence. Your argument is circular. - What is a "code" anyway in this context? It is just a correspondence. You could say that the elements of the periodic table are coded by the atomic number, which is the number of protons, or positive charges, in the nucleus. As fusion reactions occur under the extreme conditions within stars the higher elements are built up. - Why, in an analogous way, is it not possible to visualise components of cellular "machinery", in the form of complex organic molecules, being built up into more complex structures in a suitable environment?
