SETI scientists aren't looking for a code from space. They are looking for a narrow spike of energy in the microwave region of the EM spectrum.

That's just like saying that all SETI scientist should be swayed or are misguided because one inept SETI scientist failed to provide the right reasons for considering a certain code from space as evidence of intelligence.
You are founded on assuptions, by stating life happened naturally by physio-chemical processes in time past. From there you build further assuptions, but present many as facts. Who are you kidding, Chap? DNA did not come about through natural processes. So, you assume so!The argument from design, also known as the teleological argument, is an argument for the existence of God (or life-engineering aliens) that may be summarized as follows: When I see a complex object such as a watch, I know it has been designed: therefore, when I see a complex object such as a tiger, I should infer that it has been designed. This act of comparing two objects and drawing similar conclusions based on similarities (while ignoring important differences) is a prime example of a false analogy.

They are looking for a narrow-band microwave signal because as far as we know, narrow-band signals are only produced for the purpose of transmitting messages and are not produced by natural emitters of EM radiation.In other words, you are denying that if they receive a coded message they would assume intelligence?
Really? Why?
BTW
Have you seen the film Contact?
They have to keep changing their names every few years as they keep losing in court. It is hard to keep up.I think you mean cdesign proponentsists.

You did not answer my question for obvious reasons.I am telling you what they are looking for.
You do know that it is a work of fiction, right?
When you start getting your science from fictional movies . . .
You did not answer my question for obvious reasons.
No, I'm not aware. Please explain what you're getting at.I know it's a work of fiction. But it is relevant to the discussion as you well are reluctantly aware.

Is there a radio signal being broadcast by bacteria with a coded message in it?
That is totally irrelevant.
The similarity is in the coding of information indicating mind and not in the transmission of radio signals.
You are aware that the film though fiction is relevant to our discussion.Unless you can find a SETI researcher who thinks DNA is a message from aliens I think you have your answer already.

We don't need SETI permission to think rationally.
I never claimed that the SETI scientists agree. I lumped them together with all the rest of the atheist scientists who suddenly suspend their ability to see and resort to selective blindness and inconsistency of policy whenever anything indicates an ID in nature.I'll ask again - do any actual SETI researchers agree with you, or do we have to ignore yet another field of science for to believe you?

Coded information.It is completely relevant. Scientists are saying that a modulated radio signal is evidence of an intelligence. You are claiming that the SETI type of evidence is found in life. So where is it?
What is that similarity?
