Any sign of understandable communication implies some degree of intelligence... so I'm not sure what you're trying to claim.
I think you're trying to claim that DNA implies intelligence, and that would be a conflation of the word "alphabet". DNA does not have an alphabet in the literal sense. It has physical components that cause physical actions. It is referred to as having a "language" and "alphabet" because these metaphors make it much easier for humans to work with. Humans will anthropomorphize just about anything, because it makes it much easier to understand. This has no affect on the item we are anthropomorphizing though.

I don't understand what this claim means.
Nor I. But par for the course, no? I don't understand anything Jim is on about most of the time!
Keep it up Jim!
Usually I do understand what Jim is talking about. But here, not so much

When a materialist biologist is reminded that DNA is a four-letter chemical language, which is translated by messenger RNA to the 24-letter language of the proteins, the biologist will deny that this is the language of Intelligent Design.ingob ginbo hamonye
