Not necessarily. All we really know is that genes code for protein. Protein synthesis, epigenetics, a whole universe of environmental interaction and top-down influence contribute to the overall development of a physical body. It's like saying that tcp/ip packets give rise to YouTube content. > > > DNA is a dimensional physical exemplification or instantiation that can be > > *decoded* and then be simulated or modeled as a complete body & brain (if > > there is such a thing). > > > If it is assumed the brain is a natural computer, the DNA should contain > > an encoded version of that same brain. Our fingers are natural computers if we use them that way. Computation isn't necessarily a causally efficacious principle in the universe. I think that it's a sensory theme which is instrumental in maintaining solid objects through time, but that's about it. It has no feeling, meaning, power, or desire. The lowest, most common end of what we are looks like a brain, and computation is what goes on when we look at matter with matter. > > > This in turn gives rise to the questions of interpretations or maybe more > > importantly misinterpretations (beliefs) by the brain (natural computer) of > > what the 6 senses observe. The brain computes, but it is also a collection of living organism. An electronic computer computes but it is not a living organism, and it is an inorganic assembly. The commonality is paper thin, and the difference extends back billions of years. Craig -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
