Overlapping Genetic Code Complicates Things for Darwin Devotees

dna5According to this update from Creation-Evolution Headlines a second, “over-lapping” language has been discovered within the genetic code of living organisms: Two Genetic Codes Are Better Than One.
 

This new language is actually written over the top of the first ~

… this new study from University of Washington scientists found that genomes use the genetic code to write two separate languages.
 
One language describes how proteins are made, and the other helps direct genetic activity in cells. One language is written on top of the other, which is why this other language went undiscovered for so long […]

 
Rather than bolster Darwin’s beleaguered theory, this latest discovery further points toward an Intelligent Designer. Not only would it require that the entire evolution process become even more fantastically sophisticated than has already been posited, it also…

… appears to make the genetic code more fragile, less likely to lead to evolutionary progress when mutations (the raw material of neo-Darwinism) occur.

 

Further, the finding seems to suggest that additional, yet-to-be-discovered languages may still reside within DNA ~

Future research will need to determine the number of overlapping codes that can be tolerated by the genetic code. There is also the question of possible trade-offs, in terms of maintaining regulation and functionality, that have been made to accommodate coexistence of codes and whether this can lead to nonoptimal or deleterious consequences […]
 
The investigation of overlapping codes opens new vistas on the functional interpretation of variation in coding regions and makes it clear that the story of the genetic code has not yet run its course.

 
What scientists should really be discovering is that the more they study the complexities of genetics, the more improbable Darwin’s theory of evolution becomes.
