“DNA’s power is global; it has orchestrated the history of life on earth for three and a half billion years. Yet its touch is intimate; it determines your chances of getting cancer, the amount of cholesterol in your father’s blood, and the color of your daughter’s eyes. Discoveries about its actions have sparked a molecular revolution whose consequences affect every corner of both pure and applied biological research.” (Levine and Suzuki, The Secret of Life pg 1)

“DNA is like a computer program but far, far more advanced than any software ever created.”
― Bill Gates, The Road Ahead

Bill Gates states that DNA is like a computer program. Would Joseph Levine and David Suzuki agree with his analogy? Why or why not?

They would definitely agree with this analogy because they are both trying to emphasize the complexity and ingenuity of the DNA.

However, Joseph Levine and David Suzuki see the DNA as much more than a program as they highlight the marvelous and the poetic nature of the DNA referring to both small-scale and personal aspect of its effect on individuals and also the large-scale effect on the evolution on all life on Earth.
