DNA language not the same as DNA molecule
Recent studies in information theory have come up with some astounding conclusions—namely, that information cannot be considered in the same category as matter and energy. It’s true that matter or energy can carry information, but they are not the same as information itself.
For instance, a book such as Homer’s Iliad contains information, but is the physical book itself information? No, the materials of the book—the paper, ink and glue contain the contents, but they are only a means of transporting it.
If the information in the book was spoken aloud, written in chalk or electronically reproduced in a computer, the information does not suffer qualitatively from the means of transporting it. “In fact the content of the message,” says professor Phillip Johnson, “is independent of the physical makeup of the medium” (Defeating Darwinism by Opening Minds, 1997, p. 71).
The same principle is found in the genetic code. The DNA molecule carries the genetic language, but the language itself is independent of its carrier. The same genetic information can be written in a book, stored in a compact disk or sent over the Internet, and yet the quality or content of the message has not changed by changing the means of conveying it.
As George Williams puts it: “The gene is a package of information, not an object. The pattern of base pairs in a DNA molecule specifies the gene. But the DNA molecule is the medium, it’s not the message” (quoted by Johnson, p. 70).
Mudahnya, yang tersirat tidak selalu dapat dilihat dari yang tersurat.

Terima kasih atas kunjungan maya selepas kita bertemu secara realiti semalam. Terima kasih pada idea-idea permulaan yang telah diberikan. Semuga kita dapat menanfaatkan pertemuan dan persahabatan ke arah memperbaiki perjalan mengenal Tuhan. Tiada yang lebih penting di dalam kehidupan kita, dari terus dapat mengembirakan hati dan akal, agar dapat memikirkan dan mengingati kebesaranNya. Kita telah diberi kesempatan menghabiskan umur muda dengan cara yang lebih baik dari yang lain, dengan diberikan peluang mengnikmati kehidupan yang menarik, maka di hujung penghidupan di Dunia ini, seharusnya kita melihat kembali apakah yang telah kita lakukan dan persoalkan soalan dari mana, ke mana, bagaimana dan sebagainya, untuk lebih mendalami hakikat bahawa kita akan terus hidup di Alam lain, walupun masa agak terhad di Dunia ini.
