Can God be a useful "scientific" hypothesis? Yes

@Meerkat_SK5 you have made your “more than just metaphorical but literal” claim 1, 2, 3 times previously by my count.

I am getting heartily sick of your argumentum ad nauseam.

This is particularly true, as this claim is false, as I’ve already pointed out to you.

Church et al no more demonstrate that the genome is a computer than that a Wham!'s Greatest Hits CD or a book of Shakespearean sonnets are. That genomes, optical disks and paper-and-ink can be used as storage media does not demonstrate that they are computers.

I would further point out that Church’s “biotech version of an e-reader” cannot interpret a biological genome any more than a living organism’s processes can interpret the results of Church’s device, rendering this comparison still weaker.

I would suggest that the last thing this world needs is yet another apologist trying to make ‘scientific’ claims whilst being unwilling and/or unable to come to grips with the underlying scientific research.

If you want to make the world a better place, then become an aid worker.
