Does DNA = GOD? Bioinformatics and Intelligent Design

Abstract

The science of Bioinformatics is relatively new. It began in the 1960s as a way to handle the massive amount of data that was beginning to be revealed in DNA. One of the critical insights that researchers discovered was that DNA contained a treasure trove of information; the programming of life. It is the thesis of this article that the encoded information in DNA is not similar to a written human language; it is a language. Just as the information conveyed in languages comes from minds, so too must the instructions programmed into DNA.
