I think he's saying that nothing exists until it's named... That's pretty stupid!

I would never had thought it possible, but JohnR7 is getting dumber and dumber every day, with no lower bounds on sight.

In case you haven't notice, JohnR7 is an ASS. There is no hidden message in that and science had no part in it, for I am the one that used the alphabet. The only question here is, how fucking stupid can one human be a still be able to string the alphabet together to form words and sentences? I'd say with his kind of argument, he should be drooling in a cup.
Desperation, thy name is JohnR7.

Thinking that the attribution of letters to chemicals is profound in some way. Hmmm \"Proudly marching into the third millennium (BCE) award\"?

It truly is amazing. I suspect even now he is pestering librarians to post his comments for him because he has deteriorated so badly.

KFC is the scientific designation for Kentucky Fried Chicken, then, right?
Does this boob not understand the widespread use of acronyms?

More like \"Proudly marching to the film set of 'What the *bleep* do we know?!'\" award, Gerard.
Remember the ships that were invisible to the South American natives, since they had no knowledge of such vessels' existence? :rolleyes:

There are no hidden messages and Science is the one that uses the Alphabet not me.
You don't use the alphabet? Then how do you type these ravings on the Web -- telepathy?
In case you have not noticed \"DNA\" are letters from our alphabet.
True. Spew enough random sentences and an occasional one is bound to have some actual fact to it.
The only question here is what came first, the chemicals or the letters that we assign to the chemicals. I say the letters came first.
Wait, you mean that DNA could not exist until we had developed language, then eventually created an alphabet, and then DNA came into existence? Since DNA is the foundation of organic life (well, just a step or two above amino acids, anyway), that would be quite a neat trick for us to invent language and an alphabet even before the first organic life came into existence. Sorry, JohnR7, but this is just nuts.

Yes, not only did DNA come first, but it evolved and mutated into DeoxyriboNucleic Acid.
Sooooo then. Look no further, this years Ignoble prize for Outstanding research into Asshattery goes to John R7. (Eat your heart out Hovind)

Wait - what if JohnR7 and Kent Hovind are the same person?
Think about it. Have you ever seen John and Kent in the same room at the same time?
And notice that Kent is the same as the last name of Clark Kent, who was also Superman! It's a hidden message!

What makes this sad is that this makes far more sense what what JohnR7 was spewing.

I cannot read this post without being reminded of a family guy quote.
Peter: \"Hey brian, there's a message in my alphabet soup. It says 'oooooooo'.\"
Brian: \"Peter, those are cheerios.\"
I swear JohnR7 is getting dumber by the day, and he's trying to drag the rest of us down with him.

Not likely. The guy has over 20k posts; most of which consist of well thought out ideas such as the one presented here.

No, his point is essentially \"In the beginning was the word.\" The end of his post, which makes it clear, wasn't replicated here.

Genesis 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass
Through the letters we assign to DNA we can see how what God said, became DNA to bring forth the grass.
Of course, he forgets that God speaking does not imply God writing. And the Latin alphabet is man's relatively recent invention -- and is certainly far from God's language.
It's stupid, yes, but it's a slightly different stupid.

As another poster pointed out to John, even if you use the Hebrew equivalents you can't get the molecules in DNA because C and G are the same letter in Hebrew.

MK, also, ancient Hebrew has no vowels, so there could be no \"A.\"

Ooooookay... one whopper tops another. His next post:
\"It was made of the same thing it is made of now. Written language is a way to express spoken language. DNA is a way to express the spoken langage of God.
Let me give you something real simple so that a child can understand it. DNA code is made up of ACGT. The A here is the first letter in the alphabet. It is the beginning and DNA is also the beginning of everthing that is living. C stands for Christians. It is the Christians that are here to deliver God's message to the world. G of course stands for God. It is God who is expressing Himself in the DNA and thus God is expressing Himself in Creation. The T of course expresses God and the head or in His leadership over man. There is a lot that can be said about this, but now is not the place. If you have a small t then of course you have the cross that Jesus gave Himself for us. If you have a small g you will see that God has expressed Himself in us. The small c of course represents our humility before God. If we have pride or ego or are puffed up before God, then it is not going to work according to God's plan and purpose. The small a of course shows how things start off small in the beginning and over time they become greater. A journey of 1000 steps begins with one step. A study of the Bible begins with one word and one passage at a time.
That is pretty much the extent of it. In order to get more out of it, you would have to look at it in the origional Hebrew Language. We are limited using English because they have made changes to try to make it easier to learn and that tends to cause it to lose meaning.

David - True, the written form of Ancient Hebrew did not, though the spoken form did. The use of dots and marks to indicate proper vowel sounds became necessary because of all the mistakes that could be made by reading nothing but consonants.
