The problem with this email is that the author erroneously associates DNA as a message/language. What may be confused as language is the information contained in DNA, where information is the observable data associated with a particular system. Just because something contains information is no reason to assign additional meaning to this information. Not to mention that the author gives us no definition of "information."
Anyway, people looking for arguments for God are better of researching the works of people like William Lane Craig or Alvin Plantinga.

I am quite certain I agree with your opinions here anyway, Woodsprite, even if you have not uttered them yet
 Besides - trying to "prove" god by scientific means is just stupid. Just saying.

^Well that's a dumb thing to say. Sure, I don't think God can be proved in an email either, but it's still an interesting article. You could at least read it and learn something rather than just say "Nope. Can't happen. Refusing to look."

God is a hypothetical entity, that was written in a book that no one can prove was written by the people it says it was written by, how could you possibly prove it is true in an email?

It was an interesting read, but I'm not convinced. People have been trying to prove the existence of god for thousands of years, I highly doubt something as lowly as an email will suddenly answer the question. There very well could be a god (I believe in the metaphysical, but am agnostic about a specific deity), but whether or not one chooses to believe in it, and how one chooses to interpret evidence of "proof" must come from inside.
