There was no "algorithm which creates life", only an analogy to an algorithm which plays an important part in how life EVOLVES now, post RNA-world. The "irreducibly complex code" evolved by co-evolution after the abiotic appearance of an RNA soup, because RNA-based molecules can evolve by NS, without DNA (the self-replicating RNA I posted about way back). The 35% DNA component of modern ribosomes was part of that co-evolution.

PS, I agree with Rumraket that "specified complexity" is just a bit of nonsense made up by Dembski, presumably to sound impressive, without actually meaning anything.
