quote:
The DNA as a code is especially apt and describing the code as a language is not beyond reason.

Well, yes, DNA is a code if you define code appropriately to include it. The same with using the word language.

Now, as a metaphor I agree that code is apt. I'm not so sure about language.

Chiropter, you wrote:

Would you go with "operating system"”you know, the software analogy? These metaphors are impossible to avoid. They are as bad to science as they are good.

TO carry your last post forward you may want to look at Has there ever been a computer modelling of abiogenesis?

Enjoy.
