Research on Intelligent Design

To put together scientific advances from the perspective of Intelligent Design.

Our "Inner Biological Software" (IBS, not IBM)

Today I want to talk to you, my dear reader, that aside of posting on boards and blogs like this one; I have published one paper including the next statement:

"Using Intelligent Design models, we can use the analogy of the nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) as being the Software for the building up of proteins, and the proteins as being the Hardware, with the special feature that here, the Software builds up the Hardware and the Hardware plays and modulates the Software. In the case of metabolic pathways, the proteins are sufficiently flexible to become part of the regulatory Software, in a stairway of self-contained types of Hardware: organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organisms, etc."
Castro-Chavez F. Microarrays, antiobesity and the liver. Annals of Hepatology 2004; 3(4): October-December: 137-145 (in PDF).

Such molecular studies prompted me to declare that this is "The optimal use of genetic information to see the art and the beauty of God's Creation in Molecular Biology."

To the new reader I may ask: It is there any practical use of thinking in such a way?

Well, I believe that the answer is YES!

In the same review I emphasize, apart of the previous quotation, and among other points, that:

1- Species-specific pathways, proteins and genes can also be found,

2- New pathways can be discovered with the use of Microarrays, and new functions found for known proteins,

3- On using Microarrays also well known genes being expressed in unexpected tissues or cells; i.e., my findings of hbb-b1 and hba1 expressed inside white adipose tissue, and the heart, fulfilling their own and particular function inside a specific environment,

4- The results of performing a careful microarray analysis of the genetic program of organisms have been helpful, thus far, in setting an integrated foundation for nutrigenomics (effects of nutrients on the genome and on the regulation of gene expression), and nutrigenetics (effect of genetic variation on the interaction between diet and disease and on the healthy response to nutrients).

5- and to better describe the identity and function of genes and genomes, composers of a natural, complex, and precise biological software that as a genetic program, contributes to the healthy programming and the pathological reprogramming of life.

I have used in that indexed review, and as an example of "the healthy programming of life", the next valuable reference:

Stephen C. Meyer. The origin of biological information and the higher taxonomic categories. Proc Biol Soc Washington, 2004; 117(2):213-239.

I think that tomorrow I will need to translate something from Spanish into English in order to post it here.

Intelligent design is the only logical answer to how we got here.

I hope you will check out my blog

Evangelist, as you wrote in your site, science "points to an intelligent designer" for those with eyes to see; the ones that deliberately refuse to see, as you wrote, "they are ignorant on purpose. They deliberately forget the creation story and the story of the judgment of God with the flood".

Finally, to complement the funny illustration on your link:

Colorado Springs Gazette on the Dover case, Tuesday’s edition (9/27/05).

Over on the ARN discussion board the following 3 questions were asked. I have provided answers:

1. What are your testable predictions?

A. That we will observe the existence of CSI & IC in life.

2. What would falsify ID?

A. Demonstrate that unintelligent, blind/ undirected processes can account for each- CSI & IC.

3. If what you are doing is science why are you trying to redefine science?

What is the data that shows IDists are trying to redefine science? IOW present the definition of science and show how IDists try to change it.

I don't want to seem picky but your comment

"Using Intelligent Design models, we can use the analogy of the nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) as being the Software for the building up of proteins, and the proteins as being the Hardware, with the special feature that here, the Software builds up the Hardware and the Hardware plays and modulates the Software. In the case of metabolic pathways, the proteins are sufficiently flexible to become part of the regulatory Software, in a stairway of self-contained types of Hardware: organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organisms, etc."

is NOT in your paper. In fact it is nothing to do with ID. Nice paper otherwise, loved the figures.

In the second paragraph of my article I declared:

"Using Intelligent Design models, we can use the analogy of the nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) as being the Software for the building up of proteins, and the proteins as being the Hardware, with the special feature that here, the Software builds up the Hardware and the Hardware plays and modulates the Software. In the case of metabolic pathways, the proteins are sufficiently flexible to become part of the regulatory Software, in a stairway of self-contained types of Hardware: organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organisms, etc."

Anyone can verify it both in:

The Final PDF.

And in:

My Last Version.
