Richard Dawkins Proves Intelligent Design in 5 Min

Darwinian evolution's champion Richard Dawkins logically proves intelligent design. Richard Dawkins proves intelligent design by confirming the premises of the DNA argument for intelligent design as formulated by Stephen C. Meyer, thereby showing in spite of himself how to arrive at the conclusion of intelligent design using elementary logic and facts of science.

--- Argument:
1. Genes (a central component of life) are digital information*.
2. To the best of OUR KNOWLEDGE, digital information is always a product of intelligence.
3. Therefore, to the best of our knowledge, genes (a central component of life) are a product of intelligence.
--- Answers to common objections:
* #1: DIGITAL INFORMATION IS THE SAME AS ORDER!
No, digital information -- such as the instructions of computer code, the hieroglyphic text of the Rosetta stone or Shakespeare's Hamlet -- is not to be confused with order which can be seen in the spontaneous structure of a snowflake or a crystal.
Order is different from digital information in the sense that order would have the DNA molecule comprised of any A-T or C-G pair in any position along its sequence without this impairing the double helix structure.
But since there is order as well as digital information in the DNA molecule, the positions of A, T, C and G not only hold the DNA molecule together but are highly specific so as to translate meaningful code.
#2: THIS IS CHERRY-PICKING OF THE WORST KIND!
No, lol.
This is Richard Dawkins affirming the premises (1) and (2) of the argument for intelligent design. The fact that he chooses a personal view that is different from the conclusion arrived at by the syllogism in the video is immaterial to his confirmation of its premises.
Just like someone who believes that
(1) all men are mortal,
(2) Dawkins is a man, yet thinks
(3) Dawkins is not going to die,
is someone who correctly accepts the premises but then chooses a conclusion different from that which is logically binding.
#3: WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY DIGITAL INFORMATION?
The term digital information is used in reference to information that is encoded using digital units, regardless of whether that is according to a binary system (0, 1 or A, B), a quaternary system (0, 1, 2, 3 or A, T, C, G), an alphabetical system or else.
Digital information is not synonymous with computer information or a computer program, in the sense that it can also be information written on a rock using numerical or alphabetical symbols (e.g., the hieroglyphic text of the Rosetta stone).
#4: RICHARD DAWKINS DOEN'T REALLY BELIEVE DNA IS DIGITAL.
It is pointless to object by saying that Richard Dawkins does not say DNA or genes are really digital information. A minute and a half in the video, he says, "genes are information, they are coded information. It even looks like computer information. A chromosome is a great long computer tape. It's linear, runs one-dimensional digital code. It's not binary, it's quaternary, but apart from that it's just the same as computer tape."
Furthermore, he states in his book River Out of Eden on page 17, "After Watson and Crick, we know that genes themselves, within their minute internal structure, are long strings of pure digital information. What is more, they are truly digital, in the full and strong sense of computers and compact disks, not in the weak sense of the nervous system. The genetic code is not a binary code as in computers, nor an eight-level code as in some telephone systems, but a quaternary code, with four symbols. The machine code of the genes is uncannily computerlike."
He also writes on page 19, "Genes are pure information - information that can be encoded, recoded and decoded, without any degradation or change of meaning. Pure information can be copied and, since it is digital information, the fidelity of the copying can be immense. DNA characters are copied with an accuracy that rivals anything modern engineers can do."
#5: IS THE ARGUMENT PRESENTED IN THE VIDEO ABOUT GOD?
The argument, particularly premise 2, is about the ability of the mechanism (in this case: one that makes use of intelligence) to encode information.
Even if intelligence entails a conscious agent by definition, the mechanism stated in the premise is not to be confused with the agent or agents or any possible identity thereof.
And even though there are larger implications for one's worldview depending on whether intelligent design is true or false, the subject of this video remains the evidence for or against it.

Is there a valid reason why you quote mined his interviews, specifically the last one? I noticed you didn't include his actual response to the question. Nor the actually reason he paused.

[@labrat1807]

I'm afraid you have based your argument on a fallacy known as "begging the question" (assuming the truth of your conclusion within a structural premise). As we have never observed a god or creator that is capable of creating information, such as contained within DNA, then we know of at least one example of naturally occurring and increasing information - DNA. Unless you observe the creator of DNA you have no grounds for claiming it to not be a naturally occurring substance. We have observed the building blocks for DNA forming naturally (Miller-Urey et al.) Our observations lead us to conclude that, not only COULD DNA form naturally without a guiding intelligence, but that it actually DID occur naturally. In short, your argument is fallacious and even if it weren't, there is physical evidence against it's second premise.

I followed your rules and you deleted my post. You clearly do not want an honest debate on the subject.

[@EthelredHardrede-nz8yv]

I see that my posts are now here. Thank you for doing the right thing. I note that you evaded my reply to video. Its the newest reply. Six days ago and its no longer hidden. But its not in this pegged thread so here is a copy. BEGIN COPY ------ "Proves Intelligent Design in 5 Min" That is just plain false. Even if that was actual opinion it would NOT prove ID. Genes are NOT coded information. They are an historical artifact of mutation followed natural selection, the APPEARANCE of it being code is illusory. Codes are for the purpose of communication between human beings. DNA is a one way system. Nothing is communicated to, except by RNA viruses. And Dawkins has answered the question. The video interview was done under false pretenses. He DID answer the queston. In PRINT. He figured that he had been lied to and then stopped the discussion. This is KNOWN. YOU should know it by now. Wikipedia - No Intelligence Allowed "The editing of the interview with Dawkins leads the viewer to believe that Richard Dawkins is saying that some intelligent designer (God) may be discovered when the evidence of cellular and molecular biology is examined. Dawkins is midway through a hypothetical statement, making the greater point that a designer would have to be designed (and this is highly unlikely), when Stein's voice-over interrupts, asking, "Wait a second, Richard Dawkins thought intelligent design might be a legitimate pursuit?" Dawkins concludes, "But that higher intelligence would itself have had to have come about by some explicable, or ultimately explicable, process. It couldn't have just jumped into existence spontaneously. That's the point."[65] Stein states afterwards in a voice-over, "So Professor Dawkins was not against intelligence design, just certain types of designers, such as God." "The film has been criticized by those interviewees who are critics of intelligent design (PZ Myers, Dawkins,[66] Shermer,[28] and Eugenie Scott), who say they were misled into participating by being asked to be interviewed for a film named Crossroads: The Intersection of Science and Religion, and were directed to a blurb implying an approach to the documentary crediting Darwin with "the answer" to how humanity developed "On learning of the pro-intelligent design stance of the real film, Myers said, "not telling one of the sides in a debate about what the subject might be and then leading him around randomly to various topics, with the intent of later editing it down to the parts that just make the points you want, is the video version of quote-mining and is fundamentally dishonest."[67] Dawkins said, "At no time was I given the slightest clue that these people were a creationist front," and Scott said, "I just expect people to be honest with me, and they weren't." His actual answer to that question is at this site www.noanswersingenesis.org.au/dawkinschallenge.htm I use the hemoglobin gene as an example myself and did so independently of Dawkins. The long pause and the dubious editing found here www.noanswersingenesis.org.au/creationistdeceptionexposed.htm So why the deceptive video? Quote mining by mendacious editing is just as dishonest as it is in print. Feel free to deal with that. If you can show no error perhaps you should change your mind. I change my mind when the evidence supports a change. I suspect you prefer to avoid such evidence or you would have known why the pause and what Dawkins answer was, in print. ------- END COPY I should point out that I have read Dembski and Behe. I can deal with their claims and have done so. No has ever shown any error by me. Have you ever looked up the laryngeal nerve. It makes no sense in terms of design. It does fit evolution by natural selection. Ethelred Hardrede

I wonder how many examples of functioning computer code (or any code for that matter) can Dawkins provide, where Dawkins can positively show they have no author. Can Dawkins present positive proof of a single machine, house, car, etc. that did not have a designer? Since he cannot, this means Dawkins is inconsistent in his approach to identifying the cause of things. He would certainly consider the symbols on an Aztec pyramid as having an author (without ever having met the author, or even knowing what the message is), but the DNA code, essentially infinitely more complex, Dawkins would consider as authorless. Inconsistency​ is a surefire way to know that something is amiss.

[@RolandMaurer]

His kingdom "Inconsistency​ is a surefire way to know that something is amiss." -- Only, you did simply not grasp the crux of the argument. Computer code of course runs on man-designed computers, but that's not the point. New computer code can be generated in computers without human intervention by a mutation/selection process and hence, this new, effective code has no author (or rather, the mutation/selection process is the author, in the same way as biological evolution is the author of present-day life).

[@2fast2block]

@@RolandMaurer computer code does not come about without a programmer to begin with. "in the same way as biological evolution is the author of present-day life)." You sure don't think much. The 2nd law of thermodynamics (2LT): The universe is an isolated system that does not exchange energy or mass. A closed system exchanges energy but not mass. An open system exchanges energy and mass. The first law says basically the energy remains the same, it can change forms but it can't be created or destroyed. How we got all this to begin with points to a supernatural creation. If you think it was done by natural means, go ahead and explain how in regard to the 1LT. You can't even get chemicals for life without breaking the 1LT. The earth is basically a closed system depending upon what exactly is being talked about. Keep in mind that the 2LT works in all systems, there will always be an end result of more entropy, but in an open system you can get order nonetheless yet the total will always be in favor of more entropy overall. Consider too that there is NO truly isolated system in the universe. That says that the 2LT is which is so well-tested, works in all systems. As mentioned, you have to get around the 1LT by explaining creation in light of it. Next, once you have creation, it is an isolated system that cannot get order, so you'll have to explain how things formed to get order to even have open systems inside of it. I know, you can't do that either by known science. The 2LT does not prevent the first replicating cell from happening and evolving. Part of entropy though is the tendency to go to disorder. We obviously have order on the earth such as snowflakes, salt crystals (which are very simple), also plants, animals, (which are complex), etc. Even still, those eventually break down over time. I'll give you a simple example of the 2LT. If there was a glass of room temp water and I put several drops of green dye in the water, would the 2LT prevent it from forming the word "cell" all in connecting cursive letters? Absolutely not. Nothing stops the dye from doing that. Now, will it do it? No because the dye will go where there is no order. What if though I had inside the glass a clear plastic mold also filled with water that forced the dye to form the word "cell". Then it would do it because there was something (a "machine") to direct the dye and make order to it. Look at how a snowflake and salt crystals form, their environments led them to do what they had no choice in doing due to a "machine" to make it do that. They are simple systems, not complex like a plant or animal. With that in mind, if there was an open system, you'd have to have a "machine" that directs the molecules (that you can't explain how they got there to begin with by natural means) to form the first living self-replicating cell. Does the 2LT prevent that from happening? No, not at all, but will it happen? No, not at all because the odds of such a machine to give such order is impossible. You never even reached natural selection because that takes life. Natural selection picks from what is there already. You are believing in something that has odds against the complexity of life ever happening. Again, odds that make it impossible. Simply saying that the sun in an open system is the answer to order, is wrong. Undirected and unharnessed energy into an open system won't cause an increase in order, it would do the opposite, like the proverbial bull in a china shop. In other words, it is atheists' science because they have to remain blind to reality. The science against them crushes them. It's a wonder how such ignorance is deliberately chosen. This guy is of a few that explain it well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5WkcmNsj8ucaq8 Life only comes from life. Law of biogenesis.

He accuses the word faith while not knowing what Christian faith is. He thinks all the gods are the same with the Christian God. And his famous “we are all atheist, I just go on further”. His famous genetic fallacy, his ignorance on who God is, his ignorance on history, his ignorance of other branches of science and morality.

If you ever find yourself giving evidence in a court of law, you will have to swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The reason for the middle part, 'the whole truth' is that it is possible to lie through omission, to lie by leaving something out. In this case they have taken part of what Richard Dawkins said and left the rest of it out. Which leaves people who don't know any better believing he is saying one thing when he is saying something else all together. It is blatant dishonesty. It is the equivalent to cheating in a sport. do you think lying and cheating is a good thing????? what do you think when 'your side' lies and cheats like this??? do you think it is Okay??? If 'your side' has to lie and cheat like this to stay in the game what does it say about them.

Applying to ID, Meyer states: "#1 Despite a thorough search, no material causes have been discovered that demonstrate the power to produce large amounts of specified information #2 Intelligent causes have demonstrated the power to produce large amounts of specified information. #3 Conclusion - Intelligent Design constitutes the best, most causally adequate explanation for the information in the cell."

@@roqsteady5290 you sure are a devoted loser. The 2nd law of thermodynamics (2LT): The universe is an isolated system that does not exchange energy or mass. A closed system exchanges energy but not mass. An open system exchanges energy and mass. The first law says basically the energy remains the same, it can change forms but it can't be created or destroyed. How we got all this to begin with points to a supernatural creation. If you think it was done by natural means, go ahead and explain how in regard to the 1LT. You can't even get chemicals for life without breaking the 1LT. The earth is basically a closed system depending upon what exactly is being talked about. Keep in mind that the 2LT works in all systems, there will always be an end result of more entropy, but in an open system you can get order nonetheless yet the total will always be in favor of more entropy overall. Consider too that there is NO truly isolated system in the universe. That says that the 2LT is which is so well-tested, works in all systems. As mentioned, you have to get around the 1LT by explaining creation in light of it. Next, once you have creation, it is an isolated system that cannot get order, so you'll have to explain how things formed to get order to even have open systems inside of it. I know, you can't do that either by known science. The 2LT does not prevent the first replicating cell from happening and evolving. Part of entropy though is the tendency to go to disorder. We obviously have order on the earth such as snowflakes, salt crystals (which are very simple), also plants, animals, (which are complex), etc. Even still, those eventually break down over time. I'll give you a simple example of the 2LT. If there was a glass of room temp water and I put several drops of green dye in the water, would the 2LT prevent it from forming the word "cell" all in connecting cursive letters? Absolutely not. Nothing stops the dye from doing that. Now, will it do it? No because the dye will go where there is no order. What if though I had inside the glass a clear plastic mold also filled with water that forced the dye to form the word "cell". Then it would do it because there was something (a "machine") to direct the dye and make order to it. Look at how a snowflake and salt crystals form, their environments led them to do what they had no choice in doing due to a "machine" to make it do that. They are simple systems, not complex like a plant or animal. With that in mind, if there was an open system, you'd have to have a "machine" that directs the molecules (that you can't explain how they got there to begin with by natural means) to form the first living self-replicating cell. Does the 2LT prevent that from happening? No, not at all, but will it happen? No, not at all because the odds of such a machine to give such order is impossible. You never even reached natural selection because that takes life. Natural selection picks from what is there already. You are believing in something that has odds against the complexity of life ever happening. Again, odds that make it impossible. Simply saying that the sun in an open system is the answer to order, is wrong. Undirected and unharnessed energy into an open system won't cause an increase in order, it would do the opposite, like the proverbial bull in a china shop.

Faced with such glory and spectacular beauty, we are forced to ask a question. Why? The question pushes its way before us. And the human response to this question has always been the same: to propose an answer. We find it difficult to live without answers. That is what drives out metaphysical instincts, which in turn create our systems of religious and scientific thought. They are not so far apart as many might think. The question for meaning can be seen as the religious instinct. The quest for explanation in terms of cause can be seen as the scientific instinct. But the two connect through the fact that we cannot even begin to develop an explanation without making some meaningful assumptions about the framework within which we can interpret what we see, feel and hear. We need a metaphysics within which we can develop our physics… It is too simplistic to say that science deals only with ‘how?’, while religions deals only with ‘why?’. The two questions intertwine.

Let's use some common sense for a min. This man Dawkins is an evolutionist, & a big bang theory supporter. However, he admits that DNA is like a pre-programmed code as too how & why you are & came to be. Well that's way more advanced than "we came from monkeys" millions of years ago. Mathematically the sun was too big & too close to support life millions of years ago. Mathematically the earths magnetic field was too strong to support life millions of years ago. Using math, which is concrete & can not lie, shuts down both the big bang theory & the theory of evolution. Both of these theories are called theories for a reason,..... Because they are just made up, with no factual evidence. Sure, some of the b.s. that comes out of the mouths of scientist sounds logical, but when you pull out the ol' concrete math, then these theories begin to fall apart, & real eyes realize real lies. But most people will believe anything, & pass it on as facts, when infact, none of it was truth to begin with. Keep on mind that there is no science experiment that you can do at home or in a lab to prove the big bang, nor evolution. There is 6,000 years of recorded history & not once has a monkey became a man. Natural selection, & survival of the fittest is a lie too. More & more kids are being born with mental & physical disabilities, the human race is falling apart no matter how much we advance in science & medical welfare, the exact opposite of evolution.

One by one those verses I couldn't understand became perfectly clear to me. I began to realize many nights I would read the answer to the question I was asking myself earlier that day. At first not realizing what was happening but the Holy Spirit was revealing Jesus' words to me. Seek and ye shall find, ask and ye shall receive. When you realize the Holy Spirit is answering your questions you will become filled with extreme joy! By doing as Jesus says, I have heard the Holy Spirit speak to me. Being spiritually baptized in the Holy Spirit. This spiritual awakening is why we are here. 1 Peter 1:23 being born again, not of corruptible seed, but by incorruptible, by the Word of God, which lives and abides forever. John 1:14 the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. By seeking to hear, know and understand Jesus' words the Holy Spirit will teach you all understanding. In this process we become spiritually changed from serving sin or concerned with things of this world, to living in that righteousness we find in Jesus Christ. I then began reading Paul's epistles, and again struggled; but in a much shorter time went from confusion to revelation. In a very short time the words went from being in another language to perfect clarity. God wants a personal relationship with everyone. God sent Christ preaching the mystery of God in parables to grow and convert your mind spiritually. In this process God heals us and converts us to living righteously. Seek and ye shall find, all while asking God to fill your heart and soul with the Holy Spirit.

A typical example of the creationist tactic of quoting out of context. Split comments, edited to remove the conditional and modifying clauses with the intention of misrepresenting the speakers points are nothing new and they are certainly nothing new here. I have seen this interview before and I believe that Dawkin's full comment was 'The presence of an intelligent designer that can be seen in the split double helix is apparent only to those who wish it to be so'. Of course, the purveyors of this nonsense have edited out the last part of his statement in order to present a totally bogus meaning to his words. All of the other statements have been likewise adulterated, modified, chopped and edited to give a wrongful impression. The fact that they are prepared to resort to these tactics is an indication of their desperation and failure to find anything better with which to counter his arguments against creationism. An underhand and ethically bankrupt tactic indeed, but, hey, who needs the moral high ground when you have obsessive insanity on your side?

DNA is the instruction book for life, code that has a "progammer"

[@EthelredHardrede-nz8yv]

DNA is chemistry and does nothing. It has no programmer and the evidence shows that none is needed. Let me get you started in your journey to reality. How evolution works, the basics: First step in the process. Mutations happen - There are many kinds of them from single hit changes to the duplication of entire genomes, the last happens in plants not vertebrates. The most interesting kind is duplication of genes which allows one duplicate to do the old job and the new to change to take on a different job. There is ample evidence that this occurs and this is the main way that information is added to the genome. This can occur much more easily in sexually reproducing organisms due their having two copies of every gene in the first place. Second step in the process, the one Creationist pretend doesn't happen when they claim evolution is only random. Mutations are the raw change in the DNA. Natural selection carves the information from the environment into the DNA. Much like a sculptor carves an shape into the raw mass of rock. Selection is what makes it information in the sense Creationists use. The selection is by the environment. ALL the evidence supports this. Natural Selection - mutations that decrease the chances of reproduction are removed by this. It is inherent in reproduction that a decrease in the rate of successful reproduction due to a gene that isn't doing the job adequately will be lost from the gene pool. This is something that cannot not happen. Some genes INCREASE the rate of successful reproduction. Those are inherently conserved. This selection is by the environment, which also includes other members of the species, no outside intelligence is required for the environment to select out bad mutations or conserve useful mutations. The two steps of the process is all that is needed for evolution to occur. Add in geographical or reproductive isolation and speciation will occur. This is a natural process. No intelligence is needed for it occur. It occurs according to strictly local, both in space and in time, laws of chemistry and reproduction. There is no magic in it. It is as inevitable as hydrogen fusing in the Sun. If there is reproduction and there is variation then there will be evolution. Some books to get you started: Why evolution is true - Jerry A. Coyne THIS BOOK IN PARTICULAR to see just how messy and undesigned the chemistry of life is. Herding Hemingway's Cats: Understanding how Our Genes Work Book by Kat Arney This shows new organs evolving from previous organs. Limbs from fins.

It doesn't even have to be a very complex one and then Evolution and a lot of time do the rest. The mistake you're making is that you're assuming that life is much different from anything else in the universe when we are in fact also just a bunch of chemical reactions. Your whole Argument is just an uneducated assumption since there are a lot of biologists that understand natur much more than we do. There is no reason to think that science can't figure out the origin of life. If you were talking about the original of the entire universe it wouldn't be so obvious but do you honestly think that it is impossible for science to understand the origin of life because of some magical barrier?

How did I find myself in this video? 0:30 The watchmaker analogy... The problem is that you don´t KNOW that all digital information comes from intelligence. In fact, you can see formations of stones and similar things that form numbers. That proves that the information itself can be generated by randomness. Natural selection would then guide the randomness into something that works. As for the actual reading process, there are a lot of different processes that would have worked and the information would have adapted to the system, but even if one organism would fail and get a bad reading system, the next organism would get a new dice throw and get one that works, and only that one would survive in length at least. This is just an argument from ignorance without logical basis. 4:50 a mutation that causes an extra cromosome or pair of coromosomes. Like down syndrome. 4:00 Instead of isolating one instance of digital information which we can only guess the origin, we still see digital nonsense information randomly arise in nature, and it´s only nonsense information because it is not guided by a non random system such as natural selection. Only the first premise is true and therefore the conclusion is false.

[@theshermantanker7043]

Evolution isn't purely random mutation, it comes in the form of Directed Mutagenesis, with a little Quantum Indeterminism added in for good measure, which directly allows organisms to adapt given a long enough time (For example, muscles become stronger under extreme use, under extreme radiation an organism immediately starts to slowly develop ways to tolerate radiation or even in certain cases use it as energy) If mutation was fully random, the earliest forms of life would have died out before they could even evolve. Imagine trying to make a cup of coffee for your boss by adding every single chemical in the world into a cup in completely random mixtures and patterns. You'd be fired and arrested for murder before you got to try again after the first cup failed! Real life is just like that. Before randomness has a chance to make your species' muscles stronger by trying millions of different possible ways to do so, a gigantic predator has already wiped out your entire species, making them extinct. In this aspect I do not subscribe to a purely Darwinian view of evolution, but rather a Mutation first (Both Directed and Random), Selection second, plastic Inheritance third view of evolution

Also also Analog information utilisation is definitely a form of intelligence too. In fact Analog information is far superior to digital, the only problem is noise

The truth of the 18 second pause at the end (I've seen the unedited tape) is that when the question is asked and the word "information" is used, it is at that point of the interview that Dawkins realizes that he is being interviewed by creationists. His thoughts are now seemingly turning to rage and that is why he stops for 18 seconds. He is actually trying to contain his fury, rather than avoiding the question. When the video here stops, (the audio continues btw) Dawkins flies into a rant about creationists and how underhanded they have been to trap him into this interview. He is annoyed that the word "information" has been used to describe the operation of DNA. One is not sure quite why, because he uses the same phrasing himself as seen in the previous clips here - but it is this word that alerts him to the fact that he is in the room surrounded by a team of creationists filming him for a creationist video. At this time in the creation-evolution debate Dawkins feels that it is only creationists who wanted to talk about information in genomes. After a few minutes - Dawkins asks for the camera to be turned back on and he gives a bit of a rambling answer, all of which can be seen on the creationist video, From a Frog to a Prince.

DNA is not life. It is an information system that codes protein synthesis and expression, and passes on information in reproduction. Outside the apparatus of the cell it is only a piece of complex information-containing biochemistry. It is not known how it was formed from biochemicals, nor can it ever be as there is little geological or astrobiological information, or how it organises trillions of molecular interactions in a cell in realtime nor how it would obtain and process feedback information. It could be regarded as a quantum computer program. The origin of gene expression is not known, yet it causes differentiation of cells in embryology, nor again how signalling is fast enough to send instructions. Only an atheist could think that DNA was the cause of life, it clearly is not, strands of DNA cannot create anything per se, it is only relevant within the total cellular apparatus. The origin of organelles particularly the ribosome and the active cell membrane are conjectural.. For a mammalian cell there are some one trillion atoms, none of them static, and the control computation is very sophisticated. Then in a multicellular organism there is interaction between the cells. The teleological argument for intelligence is very compelling in biology..

[@martynjones8560]

Nothing even approaching a logical proof of ID is supplied here. Dawkins makes a simplistic analogy between genetic material and digital information - therefore (1) "Genes are digital information" is a false statement, the genetic "code" is merely analogous to digital information for simplification - the way it works is totally different. (2) "Digital information is always a product of intelligence" is also false [unless you presuppose intelligent design, for every "All or nothing", "On/off" reaction can be considered as digital information (e.g. nerve impulses)]. You need to show that digital information is necessarily a product of intelligence and not just that in our experience it seems to be. Consequently no logical proof.
