I couldn't resist unwisely having a quick peek at what he said:
"How did the information get into the DNA language code?".
What a stupid question! The
physical sequence of DNA bases along with exactly however the cell happens to
physically respond to the sequence of DNA bases IS the "information"! The "information" in this case is purely
physical and not some mysterious abstract non-physical separate entity separated from the physical DNA and the physical cellular responce and separate from the rest of the physical world! It's a bit like asking:
"How did the information get into the snowflake's language code for its geometry?"
-a stupid question for an analogous reason; the "information" IS merely its
physical geometry and nothing more (and "goddidit" being a non-answer of course ) . Of course, just like with the DAN code, you can call any object as having a "language code" (such as the geometry of a snowflake ) using a none standard meaning of the word "language" that doesn't imply intelligent meaning deliberately put in the physical object itself, providing you can still describe it abstractly with abstract information such as mathematical or logical equations. But that obviously doesn't imply the thing itself uses a true "language" because things like mere physical shapes of anything can also be abstractly described but, obviously, it is you/us that has this language, NOT the physical object itself!
But he is just too stupid to see that.
