I enjoyed this novel by Dan Brown very much. He has his protagonist, Robert Langdon, at the end of the book, Page 435, note and define the difference between a pattern in nature that is a natural pattern, and a pattern that is artificiacodes are code: "Codes , by definition, must carry information. They must do more than simply form a pattern--codes must transmit data and convey meaning. Examples of code include written language, musical notation, mathematical equations, computer language, and even symbols like the crucifix. . .Codes are the deliberate inventions of intelligent consciousnesses."
Langdon then goes on to speculate that genetic code may be communication to us from its Creator, not just another natural pattern, a proof of God's existence as Designer of the ordered universe.
I will accept on faith that God exists, that the universe is orderly, created from something, or from nothing by God, its creator.
