DNA is like a DVD, or a page in a book. It is the medium upon which information is stored, but it is not the information.

Here is the mystery: The sequence of nucleotides (each triplet being called a codon) is specific to a protein. So one codon equates to one of twenty amino acids...and just that amino acid. There are actually 64 possible combinations. Where is the "codon lexicon"????? Where is the association between a specific codon and a specific amino acid recorded? What table exists to clarify which is which?

There is only one possible explanation for this "codon lexicon" - intelligence; a mind. Meaning is an abstraction that cannot be a property of the "stuff" which the nucleotides are made of...it is not the product of chemical activity, nor of the physics...it can only come from a mind.

How do we know it cannot be a property of the "stuff"?
