| Quote (Robin @ Feb. 11 2011,07:45) | | I submit that many organisms engage in coded language, however I would argue that DNA isn't a *deliberate* coded language or even really a language per se. It is a code to be sure, but saying it is a language is really no different than saying that electrons in a piece of copper are a language. |
My response to the "DNA is a language" issue is to ask whoever is making the claim to translate some DNA into English. After all, one of the features of a true language is that it can be translated from one language to another.
If they cannot do that then the next step is to point out that then perhaps "Language" is not the right word....
