Ah yes, computer programming, the leader in biological sciences.
It was not on my bingo card today to witness someone attempt to ascribe legitimacy to intelligent design through application of computer programming concepts but here we are.
It's an old creationist ploy. DNA is like a computer program, which implies there must have been a programmer, yadda yadda, just asking questions, wharblgarbl, brave scientists are speaking up and challenging the Darwinist regime.
A lot of things in programming are in fact evidence of natural selection rather than intelligent design.
This makes total sense to me. The program lines are the really important stuff, and baseball stats and vestigial organs are like REM in BASIC.
