Creation Moment 8/8/2024 - Design Patterns SERIES: Creational Design Patterns

Where is the wise? 

where is the scribe? 

where is the disputer of this world? 

1 Corinthians 1:20

Andrews et al. identify five subcategories for creational design patterns. 

The first of these subcategories is templating. 

Cells need to maintain the information in DNA and prevent it from being corrupted by time and chance. The solution to this problem is templating where the original information is faithfully templated or copied. 

Templating in the cell includes 

DNA replication, 

transcription, 

and translation. 

Templating points to an intelligent agent behind its design because it requires comprehension of the forces imposed by the laws of physics and chemistry that would need to be overcome to preserve information. 

Templating also requires foresight to imagine a solution, 

inventing irreducibly complex molecular machines like DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase, and the ribosome. 

Finally, templating requires creation of the information itself, the physical DNA code for the polymerases and ribosome.
