I win at the Internet. Yay.
Shoot, why didn't Dembski think of that instead of going through all that complicated math stuff to try and prove the same thing? Of course, nobody believed Dembski, either, but he could have saved himself a lot of work for the same result.
1.Correct
The rest is too vague.
I can play this game, too!
1. Noodles are pasta.

So if she weighs the same as a duck, then she must be made of wood, and that would make her a witch.

DNA was discovered, not invented, by humans. Hence point 2. is not valid, and the rest of your attempt at logic goes down in a flaming heap.
Which is normal, for fundies.
1. DNA can be treated like a code for many purposes and meets some definitions of a code.
2. Most codes humans interact with are human-generated. (Although you can get a one-time pad from any long random sequence, and my computer generated my private key for me, and even if computers could have minds, mine definitely doesn't.)
3. You can't get more data out of a syllogism than you put in. If you say one of the characteristics of a code is having come from a mind, then when you say that DNA is a code, you are already saying that it has come from a mind.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
