If God’s programming language is DNA…

Some theists argue that big-G God used DNA as a programming language to code life. And since (some of the creationists go here) information cannot be created naturally and spontaneously (it can), God must have programmed all life in its near current form.

So my question is, if God is the “ultimate” programmer of everything, how come he didn’t leave comments in his code (I’m talking about in DNA itself, or at least biblical explanations as to what certain genes are)? How come he made lots of useless code? Is He so pissed at us as to want to prevent us from accessing our own programming? Are we not “allowed” to “play god”?

That was just a quick thought though.

Hrmm, i understand your point, but as a god believing

Hrmm, i understand your point, but as a god believing programmer i can say this to you.

When i write a program it is written i a format that i can understand, however when it is compiled into an exe file for execution only the computer can understand that, looking at the bits and bytes will only confuse you.

To further compound the problem, if i a de-compiled which is the act of turning the exe file into a human readable programming language all the comments and quips made by me the programmer are
lost.

In short DNA isnt a script kiddies language.

And just for kinks, id like to challenge you to randomly generate a huge volume code and see if it works any at all.
