DNA-Evidence of God?

How is it that we can see that DNA is an encoded set of information & instructions stored in every cell of every living thing & not see that it must be by design? DNA uses a 4 symbol chemical code (like our alphabet uses 26 symbol codes) and instructs the body how to build our protiens. The storage method for these instructions is so vast no human can ever invent such a large storage method in such a small package. A single DNA strand can store an entire library of books. And we each have trillions of DNA strands within us! Its design is clearly evidence of an intelligence as it could not randomly happen. When we see information we automatically know some form of intelligence is behind it. No scientist will dispute that. So this is no different.

Boy the christians are getting desperate.

Don't you know that DNA closed the coffin on your Abrahamic god.

Sorry Jews, Christians, and Muslims you're going to have to find another Deity to worship.

Yours is OBSOLETE.

This is solid proof, evolution cant make this.

Oh boy, Lee Strobel again.

Here we have an author/journalist/clergyman who is going to talk about deoxyribonucleic acid. Interesting since I wouldn't ask, say, a particle physicist anything about how to install an irrigation system in my yard. Turns out ol' Lee here knows even less about biology than a 10 year old knows about calculus.

In actuality, DNA/RNA is piling on more evidence against special creation - since it works quite well without any divine intervention.

"If you want to prove God doesn't exist"

It does not work that way, logically. The onus of proof is on the one making the claim that something does exist. Proving something invisible does NOT exist is a complete logical failure.

@TheFallenModders Is that where you get your information? You were watching the Discovery Channel and as soon as you saw that, you came on YOUTUBE to write about it. Sciences "explanations" only prove that all these things are no accident. Life, environments, processes. Everything has balance. There is no accident here. If you want to prove God doesn't exist, you're going to have to do much better than that.

DNA is only efficient in size because the units making up the combinations are single molecules. Only about 2% of our DNA contains information about how to produce proteins. The rest is pure nonsense; room for mutations. Through evolution, the random mutations that makes up beneficial patterns will be kept, and the rest of the nonsense-DNA will keep on changing, eventually producing very advanced patterns for advanced body functions and organs.
