While evolutionists claim intelligent design is false, here we have Dawkins, the primary evolutionist of the day admitting that organisms function just like intelligently designed computers!

Well, congrats then, you won.

Nifty observation.

[gore3000]

Just to be fair to both sides.

If Chuck was interested in good genetics, he'd have never dumped Diana for that harridan, Camilla.

Then why is it that people who undergo organ transplants need anti-rejection medication?

Dawkins is deficient when he discusses within in his own field so it is no surprise that he is supremely deficient when he meanders afield.

For the sake of this article I'll accept the 'luddite' tag. Assuming that this Lego view of genetics is accurate, (not being a geneticist myself), what rational man would want to live in the world that this individual foresees? Images of a new and improved Dr. Mengela setting up a freak show on a remote island springs to mind. If H.G. Wells were alive he would likely be hailed as a prophet by such people.

Great point about intelligent design! Regrettably, these folks manage to keep the faithful in line by clouding the facts with continual rewrites of the same old fiction (i.e. Man was transplanted on Earth by an alien race, etc).

For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law, indeed it cannot. (Romans 8:7)

Thank you so very, very much for the heads up and the post!

I wonder if he would have made these observations had he realized what it truly means. You can write a self-organizing, proliferating program, but it must be made operative. As a software program, the genetic code must also have a bootstrap.

My hypothesis: algorithm at inception is proof of intelligent design.
