   Thanks for sharing this great quote. I’ve memorized this and use it as part-of my go-to example of intelligent design!

   I’m a computer programmer by trade, and I’m having some troubles with this quote.
   “Apart from differences in jargon, the pages of a molecular biology journal might be interchanged with those of a computer engineering journal.”
   What does that statement even mean????
   Also, here’s some machine code (it only works in processors that understand x86 instructions), rendered as hexadecimal values: 64A1180000008B40308B4008EB14
   It sets some transient values and then does an unconditional jump to another instruction. Do genetic instruction sequences do that?
   I’m not sure the analogy is working for me.
