So he thinks there is no information in DNA
Information isn't "in" anything. It is something
abstracted from the
relationships among things. It isn't a physical thing. DNA is a physical thing.
More to the point, one can abstract "information" from just about anything. See my spilled pennies example, or hell take a geiger reading from a radium atom. It'll generate terabytes of "information" continually.
And when pressed to find a credible or official source that says genetic code is
NOT a code, he gives me some op-ed from a Science writer in a freaking online magazine
It was simply a more comprehensive organization of the same facts I've presented you and which you have not even attempted to contest. It has not gone unnoticed that you refuse to confront those facts directly -- instead attempting to discount the cited article because the author isn't "official."
The facts are not decided by experts or authorities. They are decided by reality. The reality of this circumstance was nicely explained therein, and if you hope to rebut them you must address them directly -- it matters not who wrote them down.
And by some of his comments, he seems to be a proponent of the infinite Universe...
I'm more of a proponent of the "you-haven't-shown-that-its-finite" universe.
...something which has no evidence whatsoever....
Well, there's that whole "everywhere we look we see the universe" thing. Y'know... the "we can't seem to find the edges" thing. Feel free to reveal any evidence to the contrary, though.
... and actually defies the laws of Physics.
Oh, this oughta be good. Go ahead and tell me, Einstein. Which "laws of Physics" should an infinite universe defy, according to you, hmm? Don't you think that's something that might have occurred to Max Tegmark when he was constructing his cosmological model? If you think he overlooked some crucial fact to which you think you are privy, maybe you should shoot him an email and share with him your certainly valuable knowledge.
So basically, like I said, atheists are in denial and they're resorting to the same "God of the gaps" delusions that they pin on religious people; except their god is Science.
That's pretty funny coming from a guy who admitted his god is not a real phenomenon.
