信息论证：DNA中的信息指向智慧设计
The Argument from Information: DNA Points to Intelligent Design
核心论证 Core Argument
DNA分子中包含高度复杂的指定信息（specified information），类似计算机代码。在所有经验中，复杂的指定信息只有一个已知来源：智慧心灵。自然过程可以筛选和修改已有信息，但从未被观察到能从零产生全新的功能性生物信息。 斯蒂芬·迈尔在《细胞中的签名》中论证：最简单的自我复制细胞需要至少250个功能蛋白质，每个由数百个按特定序列排列的氨基酸组成。获得一个功能蛋白质的概率约10^74分之一，获得完整的最低必需蛋白质组概率远超宇宙的概率资源。 DNA中的信息是功能性指定信息——核苷酸的特定排列指定了蛋白质的氨基酸序列，如同字母构成有意义的句子。弗朗西斯·柯林斯称DNA为"上帝的语言"，连发现DNA双螺旋的克里克也承认生物信息起源是深刻的谜。 所有自然主义的生命起源解释——RNA世界假说、代谢优先理论等——都面临严重困难，特别是在解释功能性生物信息起源方面。正如诗篇139:13-14所说："我的肺腑是你所造的……我受造奇妙可畏。"生命的精巧设计指向智慧的造物主。
DNA molecules contain highly complex specified information, analogous to computer code. In all experience, complex specified information has one known source: intelligent mind. Natural processes can filter and modify existing information but have never been observed generating novel functional biological information from scratch. Stephen Meyer in 'Signature in the Cell' argues: the simplest self-replicating cell requires at least 250 functional proteins, each of hundreds of amino acids in specific sequences. Probability of one functional protein is ~1 in 10^74; a complete minimal protein set far exceeds the universe's probability resources. DNA contains functional specified information — specific nucleotide arrangements specify amino acid sequences, like letters forming meaningful sentences. Francis Collins called DNA 'the language of God'; even DNA co-discoverer Crick acknowledged biological information's origin as a profound mystery. All naturalistic origin-of-life explanations — RNA World hypothesis, metabolism-first theories — face severe difficulties, particularly regarding functional biological information's origin. As Psalm 139:13-14 states: 'You created my inmost being... I am fearfully and wonderfully made.' Life's intricate design points to an intelligent Creator.
