There is need to correct for record, given attempts to dismiss.

Note, Yockey’s diagram:

Yockey’s analysis of protein synthesis as a code-based communication process

Where, we can observe on tRNA structure and action:

The presence of a universal, CCA tool-tip means, chemically, any tRNA could bind the COOH end of any AA, where basic AA structure is:

Given hyperskeptical objections, we need to emphasise that it is in fact uncontroversial consensus that the genetic code is just that, an actual code. As in:

U/D Sept 6: Let us compare the ASCII code, which uses seven element strings b7 . . . b1, with two states per character bx [bases have four states per character, so Codons have 64 states], showing how a commonplace communication code is structured . . . directly comparable:

Lehninger being a justly famed reference and text on Biochem [an extension of Organic Chemistry], let us duly note:

The information in DNA is encoded in its linear (one-dimensional) sequence of deoxyribonucleotide subunits . . . . A linear sequence of deoxyribonucleotides in DNA codes (through an intermediary, RNA) for the production of a protein with a corresponding linear sequence of amino acids . . . Although the final shape of the folded protein is dictated by its amino acid sequence, the folding of many proteins is aided by “molecular chaperones” . . . The precise three-dimensional structure, or native conformation, of the protein is crucial to its function.” [Principles of Biochemistry, 8th Edn, 2021, pp 194 – 5. Now authored by Nelson, Cox et al, Lehninger having passed on in 1986. Attempts to rhetorically pretend on claimed superior knowledge of Biochemistry, that D/RNA does not contain coded information expressing algorithms using string data structures, collapse. We now have to address the implications of language, goal directed stepwise processes and underlying sophisticated polymer chemistry and molecular nanotech in the heart of cellular metabolism and replication.]

For record. END

Comments
Sev, who was Lehninger, what was the impact of his book and why is it in an eighth edition from his literary heirs? Why did Yockey pose the framework above? And why was it recognised by March 19, 1953 by Crick? Why is there a code table for D/RNA codons? Why are there about 20 recognised dialects? Why were investigators able to augment the code and why have others been able to use DNA to store conventional digital data? KF PS, Do you see why there is reason to believe that some of our regular objectors have moved to a point where they are exerting a Clifford-Sagan double standard on warrant? FYI, "extraordinary" claims only require reasonable evidence just as other claims. Going beyond such is indeed hyperskeptical.kairosfocus

Zweston at 6, Richard Dawkins, the current high priest, has stated that given "enough time," "anything is possible." That it is the whole "science" of evolution. So, if I put all of the parts of a bicycle in a pool of water, leave it for a million years, it will self-assemble? No, of course not. But something similar is applied to living things.relatd

Relatd, just Lehninger should be more than enough to remind us of the actual consensus, whatever stunts and talk points are being raised here and in similar contexts. KFkairosfocus

It is settled then. “Given hyperskeptical objections, we need to emphasise that it is in fact uncontroversial consensus that the genetic code is just that, an actual code.”
"Hyperskeptical" certainly seems to be code for "disagrees with kf".Seversky

Why won’t people just come to Christ and be forgiven and experience real life? Sin sure looks tasty but it has a bitter aftertaste. From experience.
Have you been making graven images, taking the Lord's name in vain and coveting other peoples property? That's a sure way to eternal hellfire and damnation from a loving and merciful God.Seversky

Relatd at 5.... the darwinists are moving the goalposts... evolution is the intelligent designer. :) Don't you know that evolution is God? ;) it's truly absurd. People suppress the truth in unrighteousness. Why won't people just come to Christ and be forgiven and experience real life? Sin sure looks tasty but it has a bitter aftertaste. From experience.zweston

Figure I’ll drop this here before the arguing happens code /k??d / ? noun 1 a system of words, letters, figures, or symbols used to represent others, especially for the purposes of secrecy: the Americans cracked their diplomatic code [mass noun] messages written in code. ?a phrase or concept used to represent another in an indirect way: ‘We'll catch up soon’ is usually a code for ‘I'm not that into you’. ?a series of letters, numbers, or symbols assigned to something for the purposes of classification or identification: each box had a label with the code SC 90. ? short for dialling code: I was given the number, but not the code for Guildford. 2 [mass noun] Computing program instructions: assembly code. 3 a systematic collection of laws or statutes: a revision of the penal code. ?a set of conventions or moral principles governing behaviour in a particular sphere: a strict dress code a stern code of honour. ? verb [with object] 1 convert (the words of a message) into a code so as to convey a secret meaning: only Mitch knew how to read the message—even the name was coded. ?express the meaning of (a statement) in an indirect way: they code their language when talking to the general public. ?assign a code to (something) for purposes of classification or identification: she coded the samples and sent them for dissection. 2 write code for (a computer program): most developers code C + + like C [no object] I no longer actively code in PHP. 3 [no object] (code for) Biochemistry be the genetic code for (an amino acid or protein): genes that code for human growth hormone. ?be the genetic determiner of (a characteristic): one pair of homologous chromosomes codes for eye colour. – PHRASES bring something up to code North American renovate or update an old building in line with the latest building regulations: the wiring will be brought up to code. – ORIGIN Middle English: via Old French from Latin codex, codic- ( see codex). The term originally denoted a systematic collection of statutes made by Justinian or another of the later Roman emperors; compare with code (SENSE 3 OF THE noun) (mid 18th century), the earliest modern sense.AaronS1978

This discovery of biological messaging underlies the importance of ID in understanding design in nature and moving such understanding into designing and improving products to improve the human condition. The real world of science, engineering and manufacturing seems to already be operating in this arena in the form of the disciplines of Systems Biology. See my article on such and my encounter with such a researcher working in the area of hearing. https://ayearningforpublius.wordpress.com/2014/11/21/interesting-people-i-have-met-e-michael-ostap-ph-d/ayearningforpublius

Again, this is similar to human developed communications systems that enclose meaningful messages between start and stop bit patterns. I have personal experience, and indeed have been the cause of catastrophic system failures due to a breakdown (bugs) in this scheme.ayearningforpublius
