What is Information? See my last post to exDemMom. Bill Gates stated that DNA is very much like a Computer Program, but much, much more advanced than any software ever created. So, who created the software of which you speak, DNA?` Who or what designed that program? DNA contains the building instructions for many cellular machines found inside the cell. But, as Bernd-Olaf Kuppers explains, “The problem of the origin of life is clearly basically equivalent to the problem of the origin of biological information.”
