CLN – Ray Villard – Is An Alien Message Embedded In Our Genetic Code? – 5 April 2013
Posted on April 5, 2013 by lucas2012infos | Comments Off
The
answer to whether or not we are alone in the universe could be right
under our nose, or, more literally, inside every cell in our body.
Could our genes have an intelligently designed “manufacturer’s stamp”
inside them, written eons ago elsewhere in our galaxy? Such a “designer
label” would be an indelible stamp of a master extraterrestrial
civilization that preceded us by many millions or billions of years. As
their ultimate legacy, they recast the Milky Way in their own biological
image.
Vladimir I. shCherbak of al-Farabi Kazakh National University
of Kazakhstan, and Maxim A. Makukov of the Fesenkov Astrophysical
Institute, hypothesize that an intelligent signal embedded in our
genetic code would be a mathematical and semantic message that cannot be
accounted for by Darwinian evolution. They call it “biological SETI.”
What’s more, they argue that the scheme has much greater longevity and
chance of detecting E.T. than a transient extraterrestrial radio
transmission.
Writing in the journal Icarus,
they assert: “Once fixed, the code might stay unchanged over
cosmological timescales; in fact, it is the most durable construct
known. Therefore it represents an exceptionally reliable storage for an
intelligent signature. Once the genome is appropriately rewritten the
new code with a signature will stay frozen in the cell and its progeny,
which might then be delivered through space and time.”
To pass the designer label test, any patterns in the genetic
code must be highly statistically significant and possess
intelligent-like features that are inconsistent with any natural know
process, say the authors.
They go on to argue that their detailed analysis that the human
genome (map here) displays a thorough precision-type orderliness in the
mapping between DNA’s nucleotides and amino acids. “Simple arrangements
of the code reveal an ensemble of arithmetical and ideographical
patterns of symbolic language.” They say this includes the use of
decimal notation, logical transformations, and the use of the abstract
symbol of zero. “Accurate and systematic, these underlying
patterns appear as a product of precision logic and nontrivial
computing,” they assert.
This interpretation leads them to a farfetched conclusion: that the
genetic code, “appears that it was invented outside the solar system
already several billions years ago.” This statement endorses the idea
of panspermia, the hypothesis that Earth was seeded with
interstellar life. It’s certainly a novel and bold approach to galaxy
conquest if we imagine this was a deliberate Johnny Appleseed endeavor by super-beings.
However, there are other possibilities too. I’ve previously written
about the far-out notion that the universe we observe was built just for
us and exists inside a computer program (with apologies to The Matrix film
trilogy). Therefore the idea that some programmer somewhere wrote the
genetic code for life in their model universe is consistent with the
authors’ suggestions.
Biological SETI inevitably smacks head-on into an idea that is completely antithetical to science: the concept of intelligent design (ID). The proposition of ID is that our biology is so complex it must have been engineered by a higher power.
