Positive Atheism's Big List of Richard Dawkins Quotations part 1

Richard Dawkins via last.fm

This is first in a series of blog posts where I would like to take a quotation of  Richard Dawkins and examine it. What I hope to do is stir discussion. If anyone think i'm being unfair or taking something out of context, they can correct me in the comments. The quotes will come from the following link and in no particular order:

Positive Atheism's Big List of Richard Dawkins Quotations

What has happened is that genetics has become a branch of information technology. It is pure information. It's digital information. It's precisely the kind of information that can be translated digit for digit, byte for byte, into any other kind of information and then translated back again. This is a major revolution. I suppose it's probably "the" major revolution in the whole history of our understanding of ourselves. It's something would have boggled the mind of Darwin, and Darwin would have loved it, I'm absolutely sure.
-- Richard Dawkins, Life: A Gene-Centric View Craig Venter & Richard Dawkins: A Conversation in Munich (Moderator: John Brockman) "This event was a continuation of the Edge 'Life: What a Concept!' meeting in August, 2008." [sic]

I like this. I think Dawkins does understand how truly revolutionary genetics truly is. What amazes me is how much like our digital technology is but on a much more complex level. My question is...where does it come from?  Dawkins believe that it was natural process of evolution...blind and unguided. How? It's like saying Windows 7 evolved from Windows 3.11 tom Windows 95 to Windows 98 to Windows 2000 to Windows XP (Millennium and Vista being dead ends). Does that make sense? Or how about the evolution form 8 bit Nintendo to the Wii? Code does not write itself.

Bible Defended: Jesus is not Hesus - addendum

dsurman has responded to my post about Esus (found here).

@mmcelhaney found information on the web about the cross on the chest and claims Jesus ideas are from Jesus.The site link is 2 large to post

@mmcelhaney Go to google books,google "Esus gaulish chest cross" then go to page 436. Interesting information.I can get pic if really needed

@mmcelhaney In the case of Jesus & Hesus, I think the names are more coincidense because of Esus being from Gaul area. Just my opinion.

If you can find the book link, you will see that author claims Hesus & Jesus are coisin gods because ideas are similiar.

@mmcelhaney Read the article I sent U. The author has an extreme opposite opinion than U. I personally feel the truth is in the middle.

I did manage to track down the book dsurman refers to History: Fiction Or Science By Anatoly Fomenko and here is page 436. I did not read the whole book but the previous post categorically shows that Jesus and Esus bear no resemblance. Forenenko only hints that there is a resemblance because of the name Hesus looks like Jesus but gives no logic for this. Then he goes on to say that there is parallels between the Gospels and Osiris. I dealt with these in an earlier post. I see no basis for making that conclusion.
