No L

Glenn, in the finest tradition of Stephen Jones (no offense meant, Glenn
or Stephen) took n lines (where n = more than necessary) to enlarge on
his observation that:
" Anyway, within the context of information
theory the lack of an L is a semantic meaning which cannot be measured by

information theory."

That is exactly my point, Glenn. What God "meant" by doing what He did in
the why He did it may not at all be within our capacity to understand.

The "isisisisis..." sequence you mention may be, for instance, simply a
"decoration" on the DNA sequence, put there because He liked the way it
looked! An analogy to this would be most chrome trim on automobiles,
additions which serve no apparent function to a non-auto buyer and which
would be regarded as "junk" by an outside observer evaluating the object
functionally.

Well -- anyway -- I'm glad you finally "got the message!" < G >
