Here, in human mitochondrial DNA — note the BLUE code start and the RED code stop; all HT to Wiki publishing against known ideological interest:

Complex interwoven code is of course doubly functionally specific, so it is exponentially harder to account for, other than by exceedingly sophisticated and creative intelligently directed configuration. Indeed, when I had to write machine code, I thanked my lucky stars 2114’s and 2716’s were by then affordable RAM and EPROM chips, and proceeded from there.

(BTW, a neighbour who was an engineer in an earlier era spoke of how people flew across North America just to see 1 MB of live RAM, in a video memory, a million dollar cost in itself.)

We know v good designers can interweave machine code. What’s the observed empirical evidence that such can emerge by blind chance and/or mechanical necessity?

As in ________ END

PS: Here is an illustration of the islands of function challenge:

Let’s add on islands of function and active information:

"Just because something analogous to DNA can be made by design doesn’t mean that DNA was designed. " True enough, but that doesn't tell us what the best explanation is. Is a zero probability even like random chance a better explanation then intelligent design; considering there are trillions of examples of creation via intelligent design, and not one example of a random creation of a functional entity? Intelligent design is the only rational explanation.Peter

Just because something analogous to DNA can be made by design doesn’t mean that DNA was designed. We can manufacture diamonds but that doesn’t mean that they are designed. And, just for comparison, we have never seen a natural diamond form.Ed George
