One example of this is the genetic code, consistently we see your average atheist online claiming that it's not ACTUALLY a code, even though all of academia agrees it's a literal code. And yes, even the academic atheist.

This is a prime example of cognitive dissonance in action.

There is only one known cause capable of producing code, that being intelligence, thus the implications of it being a literal code are too much for them.

They have to rely on blind faith hoping to one day make the impossible possible via naturalistic means.

Also, what's with the attempt at conflating science with atheism? Science is a neutral tool that can support either paradigm...and newsflash : It's been destroying atheism for the past 50 years.

A symbol is a conventional representation of some idea. To call something a symbol is to imply that its intended to conjure up some corresponding idea in a mind. You're a midwit perverting language.

A symbol is something which represents another thing (often a more complex thing) for the understanding of an interpreter. That is literally what DNA is for the body. The body interprets compressed information in DNA to produce proteins which are complex but whose information can be stored in a small volume.

You can pervert language all you want. I don't argue semantics with imbeciles. Call it a symbol if you want, but once you remove minds from the equation, you completely undermine OP's point, since now just about anything can be construed as an "interpreter" of some "code" without implying any intelligence.

A codon is recognized by all biologist in academia as a symbol. This isn't an argument. Codons symbolize protiens.

And no, not everything can be construed as an interpreter of a code without actually being code. That's just absurd.

This is a prime example of the cognitive dissonance OP was talking about.

Almost everything can be construed as an interpreter of code. Almost any physical system can be viewed as mapping from inputs to outputs when something interacts with it and it responds, so now I can say that any such input is a "symbol" for the corresponding output that gets interpreted by the physical system.

This sounds like pointless semantics. Define code.

>This is a prime example of cognitive dissonance in action.
Two groups disagreeing is not cognitive dissonance.

>There is only one known cause capable of producing code, that being intelligence
Proof?
If by code you simply mean functional information then there is no reason intelligence has to be involved. Natural selection turns random information into functional information.

Seems like a cope. Humans only exist bc the dinosaurs died out. Had they survived the meteor we wouldn't be here to invent things like religion. You think animals think of religion? No. Bc they don't have the brain capacity to invent ideas or beleive in this idea over that idea. Religion is something we must all suffer from bc we are dmart enough to invent ideas but not smart enough to figure out which ideas are retarded. Religion is 100 percent made up and makes no sense and is only a cope tk how to deal with life.

No, they form a substrate amino acids are connected to to form a protein. They aren't symbols. That's like saying enzymes are symbols for a chemical reaction.

Already defined code. See above.

Correct, but a group denying science is. (Atheist).

Proof? This is an obvious and recognized fact. Go ahead, try and create code via naturalistic means. We'll be waiting.

Nope, I've already defined code.

It can, if you view chemical reactions as code processing.
