DNA, which is found in all living organisms except some viruses, reproduces itself and is the means by which hereditary characteristics pass from one generation to the next.

In 1909, Danish botanist Wilhelm Johannsen coined the word "gene" to describe Mendelian units of heredity. As researchers learned more, they began to define genes as a segment of a DNA molecule that contains information for making a protein or, sometimes, an RNA molecule. The term continues to evolve as scientists learn about the complexities of molecular interactions. Listen to some well-known scientists respond to the question, "What's a gene?" ", plus videos from actual reputable scientists respond to the question http://www.genome.gov/27554026 GenomeTV https://www.youtube.com/user/GenomeTV?feature=watch Information(wikki) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information Information, in its most restricted technical sense, is a sequence of symbols that can be interpreted as a message. Information can be recorded as signs, or transmitted as signals. Information is any kind of event that affects the state of a dynamic system that can interpret the information. As sensory input http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information#As_sensory_input Often information can be viewed as a type of input to an organism or system. Inputs are of two kinds; some inputs are important to the function of the organism (for example, food) or system (energy) by themselves As an influence which leads to a transformation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information#As_an_influence_which_leads_to_a_transformation Information is any type of pattern that influences the formation or transformation of other patterns.[6][7] for example, DNA. The sequence of nucleotides is a pattern that influences the formation and development of an organism without any need for a conscious mind. Systems theory at times seems to refer to information in this sense, assuming information does not necessarily involve any conscious mind, and patterns circulating (due to feedback) in the system can be called information. In other words, it can be said that information in this sense is something potentially perceived as representation, though not created or presented for that purpose. For example, Gregory Bateson defines "information" as a "difference that makes a difference".[8] If, however, the premise of "influence" implies that information has been perceived by a conscious mind and also interpreted by it, the specific context associated with this interpretation may cause the transformation of the information into knowledge. Complex definitions of both "information" and "knowledge" make such semantic and logical analysis difficult, but the condition of "transformation" is an important point in the study of information as it relates to knowledge, especially in the business discipline of knowledge management. In this practice, tools and processes are used to assist a knowledge worker in performing research and making decisions, including steps such as: -reviewing information in order to effectively derive value and meaning -referencing metadata if any is available -establishing a relevant context, often selecting from many possible contexts -deriving new knowledge from the information -making decisions or recommendations from the resulting knowledge. Stewart (2001) argues that the transformation of information into knowledge is a critical one, lying at the core of value creation and competitive advantage for the modern enterprise. The Danish Dictionary of Information Terms[9] argues that information only provides an answer to a posed question. Whether the answer provides knowledge depends on the informed person. So a generalized definition of the concept should be: "Information" = An answer to a specific question". When Marshall McLuhan speaks of media and their effects on human cultures, he refers to the structure of artifacts that in turn shape our behaviors and mindsets. Also, pheromones are often said to be "information" in this sense. Edited August 19, 2013 by krash661 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Smith Cosmos Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) I apologise if you guys have already quoted the following post u tube, However it seems to be a start to having open debate about this issue. This is with Richard Dawkins from Cambridge University and to counter Dr ,Lennox from Cambridge University . They debate Dawkins book " The God Delusion" and the issues raised The Universe [ Darwin or God ] U Tube of DEBATE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeQ6LWyKunY Mike Edited August 20, 2013 by Mike Smith Cosmos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
