Tensions between Israel and Hezbollah stir U.S. fears of wider conflict
Since Oct. 7, the Biden administration has been furiously working behind the scenes to lower the chances of a conflagration that could draw in the U.S. or put at further risk U.S. troops who are in the region in Syria, Iraq and...

Complex structures like DNA are not a problem for science to explain. I'm unsure whether you might be getting confused about a similar argument, so I'll elaborate a little.
What science can't explain (at least not yet) is the existence of the genetic code, which is the set of mathematical instructions by which all known forms of biology are governed. The problem for science is that all other known examples of codes have been invented by human intelligence. Nature has no apparent cause to encode information so that it is only visible to -- or interpretable by -- a specific third party or mechanical process, because that strongly implies intent, which nature does not have. It implies that nature wants X to have access to the information, but not Y.
Being an atheist (or at least an agnostic), this argument has troubled me for the better part of a decade. I see no reasonable way around it. While it definitely does not imply a religious aspect to biological life as we know it, what it does appear to suggest is that the rules for building life were designed. Of course, it is possible that science is missing something and there's some other way to explain it, but if so then that is not known at the moment. When people mock theories of intelligent design they are usually not aware of the potentially profound implications the genetic code has on the playing field.

"Randomly" is a funny word too: from a certain perspective nothing in the Universe is random, and the concept of randomness is merely human conceptualization of certain relationships between events in the Universe marked by lack of sufficient information for predictability. The outcome of a coin toss is not random: it is determined by laws of physics, by the way the coin was tossed, by the way the wind blows, by the air resistance... Were we to measure all these factors accurately enough, we would be able to predict with incredible precision the outcome of the toss - however, in practice this is impossible, so we have to "collapse" all those factors into a bunch of grey goo and use simpler symmetry-based methods to quantify the relative likelihood of expected outcomes.
DNA was not produced "randomly" in the absolute sense, even if in practice the exact way in which it was produced will never be determined, and, in fact, might be metaphysically indeterminable.

With due respect I think you might be confusing DNA with the genetic code. The genetic code is a code. DNA isn't a code.

It's a very common error, I'm afraid. They're two completely different things. DNA is a polymer (i.e. a string of molecules) and the genetic code refers to the set of instructions used to build proteins.
Genetic code refers to the instructions contained in a gene that tell a cell how to make a specific protein. Each gene’s code uses the four nucleotide bases of DNA: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T) — in various ways to spell out three-letter “codons” that specify which amino acid is needed at each position within a protein.

Well, how about simply looking it up and educating yourself?
DNA is physical. The genetic code is abstract. They're two completely different things. If you want a better explanation, consult a geneticist.

I don't quite know how to react to this, given that the sentence you have quoted makes it perfectly clear that the genetic code is not the same thing as DNA. How many times, and how simply, must the same thing be explained to you before it registers upstairs? DNA is something which physically exists in the real world. If you are ever charged with a crime, the police will swab your mouth in order to obtain your physical DNA. The genetic code is a set of mathematical instructions which does not physically exist in the real world. Nobody swabs your mouth for your genetic code. When you take a paternity test, that's a DNA test, not a genetic code test.
Why is this so difficult for you to understand? It's extremely simple:-
Genetic code is a set of rules which lead to a translation of information kept in the sequence of DNA on to the sequence of proteins. Genetic code is based on the three-base long codons which code for different amino acids. Genetic material, on the other hand, is the DNA itself present in our cells.

Nope. Why would I read your comments? I proved you objectively wrong two days ago and you're still trying to argue with me. I explained to you exactly how and why you were wrong and it only encouraged you to keep arguing. If you're not going to respect me, yourself, or the rules of debate, I don't have any time for you I'm afraid.

Cool.
We don't agree. You thought that DNA and the genetic code are the same thing. I explained to you that they aren't.
