But the DNA molecule is the medium, it's not the message"

This should not be a revelation to anyone. It's also not the language.

"DNA: The Tiny Code That's Toppling Evolution"

Yeah and an zygote is a human being, a bouncing baby blah blah blah.....

Religious scientific spin rears it's ugly head, yet again.

"The coding system used for living beings is optimal from an engineering standpoint. This fact strengthens the argument that it was a case of purposeful design rather that a [lucky] chance"

or maybe, as Darwin's theory would suggest, it simply outlasted less efficient methods?

if you're an illogical religious wacko, don't bother flaming me. (belief in god is OK) thanks in advance.

But now they have to face the information dilemma: How can meaningful, precise information be created by accident . . .

Not a problem at all. Just take an infinite number of possible combinations of matter and turn it loose over an indefinite period of time. Voila! Not only do we have a scientific explanation, but we can comfortably reject intelligent design as an unscientific notion that only serves insidously to insert religion into the educational process.

"Could evolution have gradually come up with a system like this?"

About the same as claiming that the Encyclopedia Britanica came into being because of an explosion in a print shop.
