That the universe represents a designers influence goes back at least as far as the ancient Greek philosophers, most of whom like Aristotle and Plato, believed it. The view has been common down to modern times and the evidence is so much stronger today now that modern science has discovered things like the genetic code and the fine-tuning of the universe.

Do you realize the genetic code is written information ... written in a language just as the posts we exchange are? Just as morse code and computer languages are? I'm amazed that anyone thinks such a thing could come about by the random movement of atoms. Takes a lot of faith to believe that imo.

Just as dot-dot-dot dash-dash-dash dot-dot-dot denotes the distress call SOS, just as the letters DOG denote a popular household pet, the codon CAA (cytosine-adenine-adenine) denotes the amino acid, glutamine.

Most of the DNA we know how to read consists of recipes for building proteins, listing hundreds, sometimes thousands, of amino acids in the correct sequence to make a particular protein. Note that there are start and stop codons telling where the beginning and end of a particular recipe is.

Jefferson was one of the most brilliant men in history...he was Deist...

More properly he was unitarian, rejecting the divinity of Christ and the trinity. He did believe that God was active in the worlds affairs which sets him apart from a true deist.

At any rate, Jefferson as either a deist or a unitarian would have believed the universe is intelligently designed, especially if he knew what we know today.
