I don’t see how you would think so. I’m making a clear distinction between the purpose of the genetic information as used by the cell, and man’s ability to find out about the information through research.
The key word that I was responding to was “intended”.
I don’t think there is anything special about the base of a coding system. You are the one who first brought up the issue of base.
My claim is that all functional digital information, which requires elements (dots/dashes, bits, nucleobases) of a coding system to be put into functional sequences, requires intelligence to do so.
By this logic, the words on this post are just “hard-wired” by the laws of electronics or physics.
This is why Crick’s Sequence hypothesis is so fundamentally important. The coding is only “hard-wired” because the DNA bases were put into the right sequence in the first place. And there is no law of chemistry that requires any specific sequence of bases, just as there is no law of physics or gravity that requires a series of Scrabble tiles be put in any specific sequence.
My interpretation is that a sign of intelligence that precedes humanity is a sign of the Divine.
