I'm getting downvoted by sophomores, *sigh*.

I downvoted you but I'm not a sophomore. My background in this field includes a PhD dedicated to studying DNA, and postdoctoral work studying evolution. I downvoted you not because I think you're wrong (I have no real opinion about supreme beings or creators with respect to the universe) but because you didn't form a convincing argument, and then just sort of insulted people's intelligence if they don't agree with you.

I wasn't referring to literal sophomores in college, but rather I was using the term metaphorically to mean "a person who has gained a little knowledge but now thinks they have a deep understanding." I understand that you have a PhD in DNA!

" we can determine from the complexity and information content of DNA that it was created by God"

Maybe because this a pretty bold claim.

If this were provable by some mathematical proof, as you are implying. Then you should publish it, or explain it.

You cited some books, ok, but they are all just more disproved, fringe ideas.

If it is a real math proof, then put it out there.

It can't be something simple like "Life is complex, thus God".

Also, Biology and Math have made a lot of progress since the 60's. So anything you heard then is not necessarily still true.
