The genetic code isn't supernatural. I'm asserting it, like all codes, is a product of an intelligent being. And its the intelligent being that I think is supernatural. every chemical compound is produced by a chemical reaction...every one.. Of course. But we're nto talking about a chemical reaction. We're talking about a code. "Triplet codons are not designated by chemical reactions." If triplets don't or can't exist it's because of chemistry not an ID.... If your ID has supernatural power he could make triplet codons... Triplet codons do exist. Triplet refers to three nucleic bases in sequence. Codon refers to the fact that specific combinations of nucleic bases designate something - either an amino acid or the message "STOP". The fact that three sequential nucleic bases designate something isn't a result of a chemical reaction. "If a chemist arranged elements into compounds, the chemist would be the intelligent designer" He can and he does and yes he is intelligent...he would object to the word designer.. Only if he were as ignorant as you. A chemist who arranged compounds is doing design work. And now for that Jesus scenario........is JC an intelligent design?? Can you understand that although I believe in Jesus, Jesus isn't a necessary part of intelligent design? For example, Gerald Schroeder is an Orthodox Jews with a PhD from MIT. I believe he has no religous beliefs about Jesus but he is still an ID'er.

Jon Stewart Staffer: I'd Shoot QB Tim Tebow Before Osama bin Laden By Tim Graham \| November 13, 2010 \| 17:49 Jon Stewart's bold statements about creating more of a "Rally for Sanity" sphere for civility in public discourse certainly aren't rubbing off on his employees. Daily Show correspondent John Oliver proclaimed in a "comedy" routine that he hated Denver Broncos quarterback/Christian missionary Tim Tebow so much he'd shoot him before he'd shoot Osama bin Laden. Barry Rothbard at Power Grid posted video of this jaw-dropping attempt at laughs: I dislike Robert Mugabe. I hate Tim Tebow. If I was in a room with Tim Tebow and Bin Laden and I had a gun with one bullet in it, I’d shoot Bin Laden. I’m not a monster. But if I had two bullets – I’d shoot Tim Tebow first. How dare you thank God before thanking your offensive line…If I was an offensive lineman for Tim Tebow and I heard him thank god instead of thanking me at the end of the game I’d find myself lining up for the following game and say ‘oh Tim I heard your press conference at the end of the game last week, great to hear Jesus get a shoutout. Wasn’t he fantastic for us? Wasn’t God great, especially in that fourth quarter? Surely Tebow's linemen would understand his offering thanks to God as a declaration that without God, he'd never be worthy to be standing behind the talented linemen in front of him. But Oliver couldn't resist the chance to mock the evangelical Christian. Read more: newsbusters.org
