Order is just another form of chaos. :D

No, I don't believe that DNA is evidence for creation. It sounds to me like agenda.

Franic Collins, was the head of the government funded human genome project. He is Christian. The previous head was James Watson who won the nObel Prize for the discovery of the structure of DNA. Rated as one of the most important discoveried in history. Hes an atheist.
Francis Collins does not make the case that DNA is evidence for creation, hes a passionate defender of evolution. He makes his case for Christianity on the grounds of fine tuning in the universe and in humans being's spiritual quest.
Nowehere does he say that DNA implies creation, hes a theistic evolutionist through and through.

People and there perfect..
A circle could be perfect.
Choose one of the dimensions and it can be perfect.
Our world can be perfect.

But then, "perfect" alone means actually really nothing.

awell i havent actually read it, it was just a topic brough up in a christian/atheist debate as proof of god. when i said that it was just a book not a scientific analysis they used the old 'conspiricy against god' argument which raised a few laughs.

Yes its not a scientific analysis. Collins has done some great science. Not as important as his predecessor James Watson of course. But notice he does not publish his ideas that morality couldn't have evolved in scientific journals. That's a big clue as to how scientific that particular view of his is.

Slow, but I get there.
What does the doctor mean by DNA being perfect? Is it physically perfect? Is it perfect in its replication? In its code of instructions?

I don't think any doctor or scientist would use the word "perfect" if they are serious about science, because perfection is subjective description.
