      ​Modern Quantum Physics has shown that reality is based on probability:

      A statistical impossibility is defined as “a probability that is so low as to not be worthy of mentioning. Sometimes it is quoted as 1/10^50 although the cutoff is inherently arbitrary. Although not truly impossible the probability is low enough so as to not bear mention in a Rational, Reasonable argument." The probability of finding one particular atom out of all of the atoms in the universe has been estimated to be 1/10^80. The probability of just one (1) functional 150 amino acid protein chain forming by chance is 1/10^164. It has been calculated that the probability of DNA forming by chance is 1/10^119,000. The probability of random chance protein-protein linkages in a cell is 1/10^79,000,000,000. Based on just these three cellular components, it would be far more Rational and Reasonable to conclude that the cell was not formed by un-directed random natural processes. Note: Abiogenesis Hypothesis posits that un-directed random natural processes, i.e. random chance formation, of molecules led to living organisms. Natural selection has no effect on individual atoms and molecules on the micro scale in a prebiotic environment. (*For reference, peptides/proteins can vary in size from 3 amino acid chains to 34,000 amino acid chains. Some scientists consider 300-400 amino acid protein chains to be the average size. There are 42,000,000 protein molecules in just one (1) simple cell, each protein requiring precise assembly. There are approx. 30,000,000,000,000 cells in the human body.)
      Of all the physical laws and constants, just the Cosmological Constant alone is tuned to a level of 1/10^120; not to mention the fine-tuning of the Mass-Energy distribution of early universe which is 1/10^10^123. Therefore, in the fine-tuning argument, it would be more Rational and Reasonable to conclude that the multi-verse is not the correct answer. On the other hand, it has been scientifically proven numerous times that Consciousness does indeed collapse the wave function to cause information waves of probability/potentiality to become particle/matter with 1/1 probability. A rational and reasonable person could therefore conclude that the answer is consciousness.
      A "Miracle" is considered to be an event with a probability of occurrence of 1/10^6. Abiogenesis, RNA World Hypothesis, and Multiverse would all far, far, far exceed any "Miracle". Yet, these extremely irrational and unreasonable hypotheses are what some of the world’s top scientists ‘must’ believe in because of a prior commitment to a strictly arbitrary, subjective, biased, narrow, limiting, materialistic ideology / worldview.

      Every idea, number, concept, thought, theory, mathematical equation, abstraction, qualia, etc. existing within and expressed by anyone is "Immaterial" or "Non-material". The very idea or concept of "Materialism" is an immaterial entity and by it's own definition does not exist. Modern science seems to be stuck in archaic, subjective, biased, incomplete ideologies that have inadequately attempted to define the "nature of reality" or the "reality of nature" for millennia. A Paradigm Shift in ‘Science’ is needed for humanity to advance. A major part of this Science Paradigm Shift would be the formal acknowledgment by the scientific community of the existence of "Immaterial" or "Non-material" entities as verified and confirmed by observation of the universe and discoveries in Quantum Physics.)

      DNA code can be equated to a type of computer language. DNA code is more complex than regular computer language in that it is not binary (based on 0 and 1). It is quaternary (based on A T C G). And, as with every known language in existence, confirmed through scientific experiment and observation, is the product of only one thing ... mind/ consciouness /intelligence. ...
      _"The discovery of the structure of DNA transformed biology profoundly, catalysing the sequencing of the human genome and engendering a new view of biology as an INFORMATION SCIENCE. Two features of DNA structure account for much of its remarkable impact on science: its DIGITAL nature and its complementarity, whereby one strand of the helix binds perfectly with its partner. DNA has two types of DIGITAL INFORMATION - the genes that ENCODE proteins, which are the MOLECULAR MACHINES of life, and the GENE REGULATORY NETWORKS that specify the behaviour of the genes."_ (Source: Nature Journal, Nature com)
      _"Language: ALL DIGITAL communications require a formal language, which in this context consists of all the information that the sender and receiver of the digital communication must both possess, in advance, in order for the communication to be successful."_ (Wikipedia: Digital Data)
      *”The instructions in a gene that tell the cell how to make a specific protein. A, C, G, and T are the "letters" of the DNA code; they stand for the chemicals adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T), respectively, that make up the nucleotide bases of DNA. Each gene's code combines the four chemicals in various ways to spell out three-letter "words" that specify which amino acid is needed at every step in making a protein.”* ( “Genetic Code - National Human Genome Research Institute” Genome . gov)
      *_”Genetic code is the term we use for the way that the four bases of DNA--the A, C, G, and Ts--are strung together in a way that the cellular machinery, the ribosome, can read them and turn them into a protein. In the genetic code, each three nucleotides in a row count as a triplet and code for a single amino acid. So each sequence of three codes for an amino acid. And proteins are made up of sometimes hundreds of amino acids. So the code that would make one protein could have hundreds, sometimes even thousands, of triplets contained in it.”_* (Lawrence C. Brody, Ph.D., Genome dot gov)
      Modern scientific discoveries in Genetics (i.e. biology) have shown that functional / coded / digital Information (i.e. DNA code) is at the core of ALL Biological Systems. Without functional / coded / digital information, there is NO biology. The only known source (i.e. cause) in the universe that has been Observed in nature to be capable of producing functional / coded / digital information, such as that found even in the most primitive biological systems, is mind / consciousness / intelligence.

      Dr. Richard Dawkins, Sir, with all due respect, by definition, natural selection does not take effect until after the first living organism has already come into existence. Natural selection, as a material natural mechanism, has not been observed in nature or experimentally demonstrated to have any effect on individual atoms and molecules in a per-biotic environment causing them to form into a DNA or RNA molecule and cannot, therefore, be used to explain the origin of the genetic code.

      Simple intelligent design argument using logic science 101.
      LAW OF CONTRADICTION A=B
      Discover contradiction in question.
      A intelligent life came from non intelligence non life
      B intelligent life came from intelligent life
      This is an A=B contradiction and only one option is absolutely true and one absolutely false. So, we use LAW OF NON-CONTRADICTION A ISN'T=TO B, objective absolutely true LOGICAL REASON.
      EITHER A intelligent life came from non intellegent non life
      OR B intellegent life came from intellegent life
      To avoid A=B contradiction about 100% absolute truth.
      A intelligent life = A intelligent life
      B non intelligent life = B non intelligent life
      Hence, A isn't=to B.
      Logically if A non intelligence non life CAUSED the EFFECT B intelligent life , A=B would be true which is absolutely absurd. This argument is hidden knowledge. No way can A=B be true and A isn't=to B is false. So intelligent design can not be debunked. A intelligence = A intelligence
      B non intelligence = B non intelligence, A=B is impossible big fat lie.
      Something from nothing is A=B
      Something from something is A=A
      Conclusion an intelligent being CAUSED the EFFECT of intelligent human beings. The law of biogenesis B life comes from life and the law of non biogenesis A non life comes from non life to avoid A=B contradiction impossible big fat lie. Simple eh. 😎😍❤👍

      *_"Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype. It is a key mechanism of evolution, the change in the heritable traits characteristic of a population over generations."_* (Source: Wikipedia)
      By definition, natural selection does not take effect until after the first replicating living organism has already come into existence. Natural selection, as a material natural mechanism, has not been observed in nature or experimentally demonstrated to have any effect on individual atoms and molecules in a per-biotic environment causing them to form into a DNA or RNA molecule and cannot, therefore, be used to explain the origin of the genetic code.

      *_“A hypothesis (plural hypotheses) is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. For a hypothesis to be a scientific hypothesis, the Scientific Method requires that one can Test It … Even though the words "hypothesis" and "theory" are often used synonymously, a scientific hypothesis is Not the same as a scientific theory.”_* *Hypothesis is also referred to as a Hypothetical or Educated Guess.* (Source: Wikipedia)
      *_"In evolutionary biology, abiogenesis, or informally the origin of life (OoL),is the natural process by which life has arisen from non-living matter, such as simple organic compounds. While the details of this process Are Still Unknown, the prevailing scientific Hypothesis is that the transition from non-living to living entities was not a single event [i.e. spontaneous generation]... There are several principles and Hypothesis for how abiogenesis Could Have occurred."_* (Source: Wikipedia)
      *_"The RNA world is a hypothetical stage in the evolutionary history of life on Earth, in which self-replicating RNA molecules proliferated before the evolution of DNA and proteins. The term also refers to the hypothesis that posits the existence of this stage."_* (Source: Wikipedia)
      One of the reasons that abiogensis and RNA World are merely "hypotheses" and have not advanced to the status of being a "scientific theories", is that abiogenesis and RNA World hypotheses still lack the experimental data required by the scientific method. Abiogenesis and RNA World Hypothesis has passed the scientific method process zero (0) times.

      That about sums up Dawkins thinking.
      Richard Dawkins teaches the universe came from "literally nothing."
      Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it.
      We can't get anything from "literally nothing." We can't even get science without God. The laws of nature only can come from a Lawgiver, God.
      God is the reason for us and all we have.

      Nucleotides function as the digits (zeros and ones) in the genetic code. The genetic code, of course, (as Dawkins explains in this video) is a quaternary digital code, rather than a binary digital code. This is because there are 4 nucleotides (digits) instead of just 2 digits as used in computers.

      Digital systems use math. They are used to count, compare, add, subtract, etc. Digital codes have specific translation syntaxes. The genetic code does not: Threonine is selected from four different "codes". Nowhere in the actual application of DNA are numbers (digits) ever considered, demonstrated, or referenced.

      Maybe most people don't know this but computers don't actually have numbers in them. They have things we call zeros and ones, but they're not really zeros and ones. I showed this in the video you just watched with the punched tape. In punched tape machines, a hole is "1" and a non-hole is a "0". Again, computers don't have numbers in them, they just have 2 different things the system uses as digits. "Binary" or "bi" means 2 in Latin. Specific strings of zeros and ones have been assigned commands by the person who designed the computer.
      Example: 00101110 means "stop" in old ACII binary. It tells the machine to print a period if it is typing.
      In genetics, we have 4 different things the system uses as digits (nucleotides). That's why it is "quaternary" as in "quad" which is Latin for 4. Specific combinations of nucleotides have been assigned (by evolution) to represent specific commands for the ribosome complex.
      Example: UGA means "stop" in the genetic code. It tells the ribosome to stop building protein and detach from its mRNA.

How does the 90% traditionally-dubbed-'junk-DNA' work, which we've only recently discovered isn't particularly junk at all.
    Well, I confess that I haven't so far listened to the full interview, because (with regret) I didn't find that excerpt particularly compelling. RD seemed to be constantly drawn to the usual design/evolution question (which we all know ad nauseum); and the wonder expressed at the obvious points didn't give any anticipation that the full video would be any revelation.

      Expecting something from dolt Dawkins is a waste of time.
      Richard Dawkins teaches the universe came from "literally nothing."
      Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it.

    In the case of computer code, there are basically 1s and 0s, but write this code as much as you want, unless there is a mind to make sense of it, this code makes no sense. Only a programmer/hardware designer can give meaning to those ones and zeros. Now I ask: Who gave this meaning to the codes that make up the human genome? Let's say this code is generated by chance or random mutations. So, who gave the meaning that emerged as a result of this formation to those codes? Think about it this way, I thought of a computer code in my head, what is the meaning of these codes if there is no structure that will make sense of this code, that is, the hardware structure of the computer processor? So I need to design that structure that gives meaning to code which is in my head right?
    Finally, imagine that I am throwing off the keywords of any programming language out of my head. So what's the point of these codes if you don't have the hardware to run it?
    The point is not that the codes cannot occur randomly, the issue is why these codes are put together in a certain way, then a certain meaning is attached and as a result, they do a job. Just as a language designer attributes meaning to certain keywords when they come together in a certain order, this DNA code must have been given meaning by a superior mind. And you can not answer this by scientific ways. You can only say "well, nature gave this meaning" and this answer is no different from my "God gave it that meaning" answer. So you can't accuse me of being unscientific. At most, you would have given a philosophical answer. As you can see, you can't answer everything with science.

Even with random mutation my question would still be valid.

    You can say that it is code but not computer code. Computer code, in the main, does not randomly mutate when copied (ok very rarely with bit flipping due to cosmic rays).

The concrete fact is that the genetic code is a communication code! In other words, we are talking about information technology. It turns out that physical and physico-chemical processes alone cannot create information technology. This is a fundamental principle. Thanks to this principle, we can communicate each other using a language, I can write this comment, and the neuron system can work in our brains. How do we know that a signal from out space is not from an alien civilization? Well, if this signal cannot be produced by any known physical or physico-chemical process, then with high probability it would be originated by a communication system from an alien civilization.

    I think it's just a fact that the genetic code is evidence for an initial input of a creator. Just like the discovery of any complex code would be evidence for an initial input of an intelligent creator for that code, because we have never seen complex code come into existence without an initial input of an intelligent creator.

      I could imagine, that the most simplest possible code can arise from pure randomness.
      But every code that is more complex, need to be the product of evolution or an creator or both.

    I wonder how Richard Dawkins knows genetic code is put together not by a designer but by natural selection. At the present day there is no way to know how the genetic code has been put together. Therefore I can only conclude that this is a religious dogmatic assumption!

      @@TyrellWellickEcorp - If you are referring to Dembski’s concept of specified complexity, it has been thoroughly discredited and widely disregarded as unsound.
      From the Wiki entry…
      “Specified complexity is a creationist argument introduced by William Dembski, used by advocates to promote the pseudoscience of intelligent design. According to Dembski, the concept can formalize a property that singles out patterns that are both specified and complex, where in Dembski's terminology, a specified pattern is one that admits short descriptions, whereas a complex pattern is one that is unlikely to occur by chance. Proponents of intelligent design use specified complexity as one of their two main arguments, alongside irreducible complexity…..
      … The concept of specified complexity is widely regarded as mathematically unsound and has not been the basis for further independent work in information theory, in the theory of complex systems, or in biology.[2][3][4] A study by Wesley Elsberry and Jeffrey Shallit states: "Dembski's work is riddled with inconsistencies, equivocation, flawed use of mathematics, poor scholarship, and misrepresentation of others' results."[5] Another objection concerns Dembski's calculation of probabilities. According to Martin Nowak, a Harvard professor of mathematics and evolutionary biology, "We cannot calculate the probability that an eye came about. We don't have the information to make the calculation."[6]
