The Information Codes Inside Your Body (Long Story Short, Ep. 10)

Inside your body a massive amount of encoded information that makes your life possible. Your body also contains sophisticated computer-like hardware that reads this coded information and builds the things you need for a living system. Explore the mystery of the amazing information codes inside you in this first installment of the "Codes of Life" mini-series produced as part of the "Long Story Short" show on KZbin.

It's astounding that people educated in these fields are so open to random chemical reactions being able to create specified information with a storage method and processors that can read the the millions of codes and create the specific information required to make what ever machine is needed at that specific point in time.

The idea that random chance interaction of forces made the whole universe let alone turned minerals and rocks into life is so insane and unscientific and requires such staggering faith that mathematically impossible odds just so happened to work out perfectly that it could only be pushed by people with an a priori and dogmatic insistence that there is no God.

Great vid! If the 2% of codon sequencing is essential for proteins, what about the rest. Isn't there a second code that acts wholistically, the 20 or 40 times mode code that was once labeled as junk DNA? Does it too use triplet nucleotides or does it use larger sequencing of 5 or 10 arranged nucleotides like words bigger than three letters?

[@kengrimm2353]

Is the DNA of identical twins exactly the same or is each twins dna unique?

[@robertecarpenter]

Identical twins are made from a single sperm and a single egg. The zygote (that's what you call a fertilized cell) splits after conception. It can split any time in the first 14 days. This can cause different forms of monozygotic twins. Therefore, they are identical at conception ... that is until they are zapped by cosmic rays. The damaged molecules will not be the same in each twin. If the damaged molecule is responsible for structure (size shape color) the twins will still be identical by definition, but not in appearance or thinking, or a myriad of other things depending on what cells are damaged. Then there are also epigenetic and environmental factors that further diminish sameness between identical twin pairs. Bottom line: They start with identical DNA, but that doesn't last long. The human body can have 30 trillion cells. You would have to damage or change a huge number of them for it to be obvious if the changes take place after all they systems are in place. But if the change happens in the first few weeks of fetal developement, the differences could be anywhere from noticable, to radical, to tragic. To quote the Psalmist, "For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand." Psalm 119:13-18. In my humble opionion, if you want to really understand the creation, it helps to get to know The Creator. I sincerely recomment that you read the Gospel of John. It has Creator/creation starting in the very first verse. Blessin's to you and yours Rob

[@InfoArtistJKatTheGoodInfoCafe]

Cool video. But I go with what Quantum Information Physicist Anton Zeilinger said about information in South Africa in 2011: "It is operationally impossible to separate Reality and Information." Data contains information. So, information is the most fundamental, as Zeilinger says. "Nutritious ingredients and the meals they create are all food as data/bits and the meaning they create are all information." -- JK

[@ambrosianapier7545]

It is important to distinguish what type of information your talking about though. There’s Shannon information, this sentence and ghytfdtrfgtyg have the same amount of Shannon information. Then there’s functional information. The hard physical rules that created the patters of a snowflake or crystal is not the same as DNA. Those patterns are repeating and always appear within certain parameters. With DNA there is no physical reason why a certain base pair is in the sequence that it is in along the DNA backbone.

[@shrimpytcoon]

These are so good

[@rubiks6]

So - Don't you think it's important to identify who the coder is?

[@truthbebold4009]

Not necessarily! That would be a second-order question. That there is a coder, whomever it may be, is what would have to be accepted first.

[@gathuckle2661]

DNA is only the parts list of the body. There is no information about structure in it. The instructions for how those parts are assembled comes from a software layer above this hardware level. This has been indisputably proven by Dr. Michael Levin at Tufts University. You're behind the times if you haven't seen his extensive work. The complex instructions for assembling a living organism are transmitted through a bio-electric network connecting every cell in a body. This doesn't refute your point of there being a designer (it actually reinforces it), but it does show the design is NOT in the DNA. You will be surprised at what you see if you look at his work here on YT.

[@sbgtrading]

I think there's a lot more that we don't know about DNA so it is too early to make definitive conclusions...but I do believe there is an immaterial component to DNA and life in general. It is amazing, what controls the placement and routing of our blood vessels? The connection points of our muscles and tendons and ligaments, and the curved shapes of our joints, and thicknesses/lengths of bones. Or the routing of our nerve tissue and lymphatic system. Soooo many details in our assembly

[@rockyhill9965]

Am curious. After proteins are formed and before they actually start to build the body parts, where is the "construction foreman" that oversees that each of the required proteins are sent to the correct area of the body? We see, as just one example, how translucent eye lenses are assembled [left and right] *at the correct location* with *both lenses facing the same direction* . Inside an embryo those left/right lens proteins are relatively "miles apart". Where is that "foreman" to ensure that the job is done correctly? All I can say is that creation is forever astoundingly brilliant.

[@letusreasontogether1168]

DNA is assembled by the mechanisms within the cell but the cell can not function or even be built without the instructions in the DNA. You can't have one without the other. This excludes the possibility that DNA could have come into existence and evolved spontaneously.

[@mattbrook-lee7732]

I will grant that the genetic code is a form of language. But to compare it with complex human language is ridiculous. It consists of 20 words and a full stop. The whole dictionary can be summed up in a table on one sheet if paper.

[@refuse2bdcvd324]

Great video!!! God is a logical necessity. Atheism is a logical fallacy.

[@carstenmanz302]

God (however this "term" is interpreted) was certainly the initiator of creation, so to speak, of the cosmic-material information process - but "He" probably did not calculate every tiny detail (e.g. the many interactions of subatomic particles) exactly beforehand an astro and quantum physicist, software developer, geologist, climate expert, microbiologist or neurologist?! I assume that life is evolutionarily self-governing from the beginning, but thanks to a "spiritual" information basis, however this was/is implemented materially.

[@Shabeck100]

Phenomenal! And that Designer/Mind can only be ONE...the God of the Bible - Father, Son, & Holy Spirit. This is precisely why even intelligent design, as promoted by groups like The Discovery Institute (& which likewise holds to the billions/millions of years paradigm required by Darwinian/molecules to man evolution), can still never be allowed in the science class. The implications are too clear & too obvious. They show up the modern/postmodern flaw of knowledge/disciplines being kept in discrete, non-overlapping fields. The opposite of how truth/knowledge works and how humans function. We are knowers/interpreters of all of life all of the time.

[@CesarClouds]

The entire video conflates artificiality with nature and,therefore, conmits the faulty analogy fallacy. This is very basic yet it got wrong which is not surprising comming from the Discovery Institute.

[@ambrosianapier7545]

The point is that functional information is made and maintained by intelligent agents. That is what is observed. Never has it been shown that functional information can come about by chance, not in the quantities needed for life. Patterns like snowflakes are the result of hard physical rules and are repeating and hold very little functional information. In contrast the base pairs of DNA have no physical preference for where they are along the DNA backbone, and holds a vast amount of functional information. Information is information no matter where you find it, the natural world or in the artificial things we have created.

[@Pyr0Ben]

Actually, the analogy falls short, but not in the way you'd expect. Artificial design is nowhere NEAR as amazingly complex as nature, which makes it even harder to believe that life arose by chance. It's impossible.
