So much for the creationist argument that random events would never create life from scratch. It is CLEARLY not random but self organized. Another step on the road to completely understanding how life could have started here and then to create life from rocks.

You might have gotten that if you had actually read the piece.
Just wondered how you like living the life of a troll.

Pasquale Stano at the University of Roma Tre and his colleagues were interested in using this knowledge to probe the origins of life. To make things simple, they chose an assembly that produces proteins. This assembly consists of 83 different molecules including DNA, which was programmed to produce a special green fluorescent protein (GFP) that could be observed under a confocal microscope.

They only added the programming for the special green fluorescence so that they could observe what was happening. They said nothing about who did the rest of the programming and how it got there.

Exactly. Which confirms what I said.

That above comment makes no sense whatsoever; the programming in WHICH DNA? (if you don't mean in the DNA, then in what exact? ) . The DNA used in the experiment or the DNA in the first life?
If the DNA in their experiment, there was no “rest” of the “programming” in that DNA.
If DNA in the first life, the first life probably had no DNA but rather most likely a RNA-like substance. In addition, the first DNA to exist would not have had programming for the special green fluorescence used in that experiment so cannot imagine what you are implying by the word “rest” in “the rest of the programming”. And, contrary to your above nonsense comment, there was no “who” involved and the “programming” “got there” by evolution.
Originally posted by humyI am referring to the programming in the DNA that produces and forms the proteins. That was what they were trying to see with the fluorescent green, numbnuts. The whole point of the experiment was to determine how the proteins were produced.

Maybe this will help:
Proteins will not form correctly without the correct instructions.

Actually, that wasn't specifically the objective but rather demonstrating how self-assembly could have happened and they were apparently successful: “ Stano's experiment has shown for the first time that self-assembly into simple cells may be an inevitable physical process “.
Proteins will not form correctly without the correct instructions.
-and evolution creates those instructions just fine; no “who” necessary so you have no argument presented here.

That is CLEARLY not what he implied. You said “The only mystery they don't address is who did the programming. “ and did NOT ask “ what, how, where, and when”.
Why does it have to be a “who” and not just a “what”? To ask “who” did it is equivalent to claiming a person did it (and a baseless and thus clearly false claim in this case ) and, in this case, it is OBVIOUS you are referring to a god by this “who” thus it is OBVIOUS you are just pushing your religious rhetoric here which has no place in science.
Tell us, is it a forbidden question in science to ask "what" did it?
And is it a forbidden answer in science to suggest something natural, not supernatural, did it?
One of the thing that defines science as science is that it leaves stupid superstitious or supernatural answers out of the explanations and relies on just looking at the evidence and applying flawless logic.

Originally posted by humyOf course we only know of one source of programmed information. That source comes from intelligence. That answers the what question, which we all should know. In a previous post I also asked how the information got there with no reply. But that also brings up the question: Who has the intelligence to program information in DNA to produce life? I made no requirement that the "who" be God or a god. That is only your interpretation. However, I know it can't be EVILUTION.So you think asking the questions, who, what, how, where, and when belongs in Spirituality and not in Science?
That is CLEARLY not what he implied. You said “The only mystery they don't address is [b]who did the programming. “ and did NOT ask “ what, how, where, and when”.

Actually it is you that doesn't know what science is, but far worse than your ignorance is the fact that you don't want to know, so please go back to the spirituality forum.

Science is done through experiment, not dictated by instructors. Instruction is how religion works and belongs in the spirituality forum.
