"The number of species is a dodge ... the issue is the number of genetic codes." Every species has its own genetic code...... re:"silicon as a precursor".....silicon is the primary material basic to microelectronics, but silicon itself has precursors...one doesn't just dig up silicon out of the soil. It is derived from, literally, sand. And, there are other semiconductors such as GaAs, Ge, CdTe, even diamond. "the important thing isn't DNA, its the code and the information" Without DNA, there is no code (in your words). "Books are made of wood pulp and ink, but all the knowledge in the world about wood pulp and ink doesn't explain the writing in books. Micro-electronic technology is based on chips made of silicon and other substances, but that doesn't explain software and programming languages." What the hell are you trying to say here?????
