Showed by the Code

There absolutely is God. I believe in Him by faith, but HE IS because He is I AM, not because I believe in Him. He is self-existent and eternal, needing not to be created as He is transient to creation.

Something that struck me while listening to an excellent Pastor Harold Warner sermon called 'Fool's Gold' was the fact that there is indisputably a God because of DNA. This is just one sound argument of many, to wobble those gripping tightly to a self-erected pedestal of self-will.

DNA is code. It isn't the things that it is the instructions to build, but the information to build them. It is entirely abstract. Represented by the letters A,C,G,T, the most complex molecule in the universe is not a cell, but it contains the code to build them; it is not a protein, but contains the code to build them; it is not an animo acid, but contains the code to build them. In other words, if all living things contain this code, they could not have been produced without it (and DNA can obviously not code itself out of nothing or even be free-standing).

Code must have a coder to write it - it is symbolic, not naturalistic and material. Computer code has produced all you see on this screen, but needed a programmer to create the code to produce physical, recognisable pictures. It means nothing on its own without intelligence behind it deciding what to represent.

God decided what DNA was going to represent and produce; the code it was going to carry. Naturalistic means cannot produce abstract information that means something beyond itself, for to the evolutionist, there is nothing beyond natural existance. We can think abstractly because we have a higher than natural intelligence to put physical things into symbols - we have a soul of supernatural, creative origin.
