From the article mutations in the homeotic gene was causing disorder in the body pattern.
Causing new body patterns. Some detrimental, some neutral, some beneficial for survival.

What happens at death is one of the great unknowns. Some people can cope with unknowns and others can't. People who can't cope make stuff up.

The thing is why the gene has such function, is it just happened to be so and for no reason.
It's exactly the same if we have resistors and each resistor has a specific value for a specific
purpose, to think that the resistors were made by chance doesn't make sense and to think that
this gene just happened to have such function by chance doesn't make sense either.
Why a specific coding for the DNA has to do a specific job? The code is translated to do a job,
exactly the same way with programming, think about it and at the end you'll realize that someone
is behind all of this and not just the stones.
The reason is that different mechanisms randomly produce loads of different genes and this gene got this function while others got different functions and loads got no function at all.
And if this someone didn't evolve who is behind that someone since if we can't exist naturally obviously neither can a being supposed to be more advanced than us...

Yes. If you told an AI, "Okay, build a tv. A tv is something that receives a certain type of signal and provides moving images and sound," you might not even get anything close to what we view as "tv's". Will it even make a screen when AI can interface with the object directly? Will it add colors and sounds that the human senses do not detect because IT can? Etc, etc.

There is a stimulus that changes either the DNA itself or the catalysts that read the data. It can happen "for no reason" (though it's not literally "no reason", more like "there were quirks you didn't notice").
If God requires 6 days or billions of years to create a planet and the life on it, can He do it quicker than that or is He bound to a certain timeline?
And if He CAN, why is there no evidence of this, in the bible or outside it?
I just wonder if God wanted a universe with people in it why didn't he just create a universe with people in it at once instead of faffing about 13.7 billion years creating dinosaurs and stuff? Or maybe He created everything yesterday and just made it look like we have a past history. We wouldn't know the difference... Or what if He creates a new universe every second and it only appears to us there's a past and a future when there's only a succession of nows and the last second now and the next second now don't exist.

Again God created time itself, he created those billions of years, it didn't take him that amount of 'time'.
We have evidence that the entire universe, and all the information needed to ultimately create us, was contained in a tiny dimensionless 'primeval atom' which unfolded instantaneously, so that's pretty quick!
The Bible talks about the heavens unfolding as a curtain or tent to form a space for us to live in. That's a very elegant way of describing the unfolding of larger dimensions from smaller ones, something we have only recently found evidence for and started to try to wrap our heads around.

He did, remember time itself is a creation of this universe. He is obviously not bound by our time, so he didn't have to 'wait' 13.7 billion years. Did Leo Tolstoy have to read all of War and Peace, at the same pace the story unfolds, to find out how it ends!?
We used to point to earthquakes and volcanoes as 'bad design' until we realized they are an essential part of a dynamic functioning life sustaining planet.
There will always be things we don't understand yet, that we might point to as bad design, atheism of the gaps?
Regarding dinosaurs..
During their reign, the Earth stored millions of years of solar energy for us, depositing it in vast amounts of convenient solid, liquid and gas fuel forms just below the surface.
When this physically dominant life was surgically removed by a perfectly aimed weighted asteroid, we inherited all this energy that made modern life possible, ultimately allowed us to launch satellites, orbiting telescopes, manned and unmanned vehicles to explore and learn about God's creation.
Yet another staggering coincidence? not impossible I suppose but I wouldn't bet on it.

And why it has functions in first place, what makes one code to have a specific job?
We have no knowledge about the creator and what kind of reality is he, we can't understand how a thing is always existing, but there's no other option than God is always existing.
The universe isn't the answer because it isn't always existing, it has a beginning and it'll has an end, so God is beyond this universe.

I can imagine God going "Tomorrow I'm going to create time! Oops... there is no tomorrow I haven't created time yet... thank God some of my believers don't care about logic..."

He created time as we know it.
It's always tricky conceptually, time appears to be so intuitive to us, such an 'immutable' law of nature from our perspective right?
But we already know that time, like mass, is quite malleable, something of an illusion, it moves at different speeds even between the ground and an airplane..
Think of it this way, just because we can only occupy one space a time, doesn't mean other spaces do not exist at the same time right
So too with time, we can only occupy one slice, but this does not mean the other times do not exist in the larger perspective
Also consider that your apparent paradox applies to a naturalistic origin of time also- how could anything be created naturally before there was any natural time to create anything in?
By definition and necessity, whether by design or accident, the creator of time transcends it

That's how the DNA evolved. Listen, you seem to have an unlimited supply of questions I suggest you contact the biology department at some major university and I'm sure they will provide you with every little detail about what is known about the process. I can't.

No answers for such kind of questions other than a designed work, the same as we do with electronics,
the resistor has a function and which is to resist the current flow and each resistor has a specific value
and specific properties to be used according to a planned electronic diagram, the same thing with capacitors
and other electronic components, each has a function which is designed and not the work of randomness.

I do wish you would stop expressing religious beliefs as statements of fact.
OK then simply contact the biology department at a major university and either have them give you the answers or a signed statement that they have no answers and I'll believe it.

The Mirror is not a credible source to determine any scientific study. Thus, any premise they may or may not have 'concluded' is suspect to begin with. No one anywhere has ever found that life continues after brain death. No one.

Why not to believe the experts and they're even have no religious agenda.

If you have a strong belief in an afterlife, how does it affect the way you live your life?
