"A very odd thing about scientists is that they think such code happened by accident."

Nothing odd about it. It is the whole 'infinite number of right wingers, posting to an infinite number of blogs, occasionally makes sense' sort of thing...

Excellent point. If we received coded information beamed to us from outer space, we'd obviously attribute to an intelligent source. But when we find it encoded into every living cell?

Might I add that the encoded information itself is useless unless there's also a nano-machine that can read and implement the encoded information. That nano-machine is called a ribosome and it reads a strand of RNA like a tape-reader reads information encoded on a tape.
