For those of you with way too much time on your hands, here's a little more to chew on regarding the problem of codes and information as it relates to the probability of evolution:
http://www.answersingenesis.org/tj/v10/i2/information.asp
Basically, it's like the old question about whether a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if nobody hears it. It makes vibrations, but sound is the intelligent interpretation of the vibrations. In the same way, information is more than a collection of data bits and probability. It requires meaning, or intent, and deliberate transmission and reception.
So for DNA to be more than a collection of chemicals, it has to be a code that is meant to be interpreted. The fact that DNA is exactly that is shown to be proof of intelligent design. Blind chance cannot produce information, because information requires interpretation.
Here is the quote I mentioned before, from about halfway through the article:
"The knowledge currently stored in the libraries of the world is estimated at 10 to the 18 bits. If it were possible for this information to be stored in DNA molecules, 1 per cent of the volume of a pinhead would be sufficient for this purpose. If, on the other hand, this information were to be stored with the aid of megachips, we would need a pile higher than the distance between the earth and the moon."
Yet the same people who think DNA is a miraculous accident would never say the same thing about a microchip. In their zeal to avoid "letting a divine foot in the door", evolutionists have again shot themselves in the foot, because now they will never be able to recognize the alien technology they are spending our money to look for if they were to ever find it. After all, if DNA is an accident, then what isn't?
