DNA Is Code But Who Coded It?

[Carmen Elsa Irarragorri Wyland]

DNA Is Code But Who Coded It?

Is the software that runs life the result of accumulated copying errors? Or does it require a programmer?

This episode of Science Uprising examines how Microsoft founder Bill Gates, geneticist and entrepreneur Craig Venter, and even evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins all acknowledge that DNA is like software.

As Stephen Meyer says here, we know from having lived in and observed the world that "information always arises from an intelligent source." Simply applying that knowledge to the biological information in DNA seems to command an inference to intelligent design.

"If our DNA code is more complex than any man-made software, where did it come from and how was that software created?

People featured in this episode include Stephen Meyer, PhD, Director of the Center for Science and Culture at Discovery Institute and author of Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design; and Douglas Axe, Maxwell Visiting Professor of Molecular Biology at Biola University and author of Undeniable.
