If people like the Discovery Institute want to put forward hypotheses such as intelligent design as an origin for the information in DNA, then that's fine, but if they want it to be taken seriously, they must provide some evidence to support it. The user C0nc0rdance has provided exactly such a method for them to do this. Its simple, find a gene without an evolutionary heritage. The genomes of about 180 life forms have been sequenced containing maybe a million genes, and thus far the Discovery Institute has shown saintly resistance to look for a single gene that shows signs of non-evolutionary origin.
If you are an Intelligent Design Proponenist and think this would be an excellent method for presenting evidence to support ID, then arguably your best course of action would be to contact the Discovery Institute (http://www.discovery.org/ ) at info@discovery.org and suggest that the largest pro-intelligent design organisation actually looks for evidence to support their hypothesis.
The core of this video was made by user C0nc0rdance

He makes excellent videos on science and defending science against dis-information.
Personally I think the Discovery Institute will do their best to ignore this, after all they must have thought of this before, they just do not want to invalidate their hypothesis by trying.
