Billions and billions of lines of code produce idiots. How can that be?
A random, or not so random bang created dna? really?

How Could DNA Have Evolved?
While there is no direct fossil evidence for the evolution of DNA (because of its size and fragility), scientists have theorized on its origins based on verified laboratory evidence. One theory goes like this: DNA began as a simple self-replicating peptide, possibly containing no more than 32 amino acids, which formed naturally (and somewhat easily) in the early oceans of Earth.
Once self-replication had been achieved, the forces of Natural Selection took over. For example, those molecules which were protected from the elements survived longer and reproduced more. So, any molecules which found themselves with a lipid bubble (which also forms naturally) would have a better chance of reproducing. After many incremental steps, the lipid bubbles eventually became cell membranes, and the molecules DNA.

Since I don't have enough faith to be an evolutionist, would those of you who believe in evolution explain how a random bang created an extremely complex DNA language with 3 billion genetic letters that actually store information in the form of a four-character digital code?![]()
