How far back would you have to go back for this? Certainly, at the time
of the Cambrian explosion the genetic code as we know it today was
present then. And as I mentioned at the time of the Cambrian explosion
there had to be an explosion of specific genetic information
(instructions).
The origin of which is inexplicable, except through intelligence. The
truth is, information is degraded by errors, mistakes and copying.

  Once again, you conveniently forgot to mention that genetic
information is corrected and amplified by reproduction and natural
selection, no intelligence necessary.

No, it is not corrected through reproduction, but there are 6 known proofreading and repair machines in DNA.  DNA corrects itself, except rarely an mutation is not detected or repaired and the mutation is passed down to offsprings through reproduction.

DNA does not correct itself. More clearly, DNA sequences do not repair themselves. The claim that
it does is grossly ignorant. There do exist DNA repair pathways. Their biochemistry is rather well studied. It is clear that you have
not seriously studied DNA repair mechanisms but instead parrot back
things that you have not understood, but that you are convinced create a problem for evolution. In this, as in many other things, you are transparent. Despite you
failure to understand not only the facts involved, but also the significant sciences --- in the case of DNA repair that would be
the biochemistry of nucleic acid polymers, enzymology in general,
and the enzymes of DNA repair in particular. Why would someone with so little intellectual foundation on a topic
continue to make so many unfounded claims about it? One reason would
be that they want to press an agenda regardless of actual facts.
