oddXian: Challenge the Consensus

Biological life runs on digital code. Not metaphorically. Literally. DNA uses a four-letter alphabet (A, T, G, C) to encode instructions. It operates as a symbolic, context-sensitive language with syntax, semantics, data compression, error correction, and functional output. It's software running on carbon-based hardware. Where else do we see systems like this? Only where intelligence is behind them. You don’t get operating systems from sandstorms. You don’t get semantic information from chemistry alone. Molecules don’t arrange themselves into executable programs without input from a mind. Evolution tries to bridge this with blind processes: replication, mutation, and selection. But it only works if the system is already running. It can’t explain the origin of code. At some point, you need a compiler. The origin of DNA’s symbolic system is the naturalist’s unsolved problem. The design inference is not about gaps—it’s about positive, testable, causally sufficient explanation. Intelli...
