Genetic Information
 The
structure of DNA was discovered by two scientists
named Francis Crick and James Watson. Despite
being an evolutionist, Crick said that DNA
could never have emerged by coincidence. |
Did you know that the nucleus
of each of the trillions of cells making up the
human body includes a data bank big enough to
fill a 900-volume encyclopaedia?
DNA is a huge molecule hidden
in the nucleus of every living cell. All physical
traits of a creature are coded in this helical
molecule. All the information about our bodies,
from the colour of our eyes to the structure of
our internal organs and the form and functions
of our cells, are encoded in sections called genes
in DNA.

MIRACLE
If you leave a bacterium
in a suitable environment, in a few hours
you will see that it has produced hundreds
of copies of similar bacteria. Every living
cell has the ability to "copy itself". Until
the discovery of DNA, how this miraculous
process took place was unknown. With the
discovery of DNA, it was revealed that every
living cell has a "data bank" that stores
all the information about itself. This discovery
displayed the wonder of creation. |
The DNA code is made up of
the sequence of four different bases. If we think
of each of these bases as a letter, DNA can be
likened to a databank made up of an alphabet of
four letters. All the information about a living
thing is stored in this databank.
|  DNA
includes not only the plan of cells, but
also the complete body plan of living things.
The structure of our internal organs, or
the shape of a bird's wings, in short, everything
is encoded in DNA down to its smallest details.
|
If we attempted to write down
the information in DNA, this would take up approximately
a million pages. This is equal to an encyclopaedia
forty times bigger than The Encyclopaedia Britannica,
which is one of mankind's greatest accumulations
of information. This incredible information is
stored in the tiny nucleus of our cells measuring
about a thousandth of a millimeter in size.
|  Every
piece of information is derived from an
intelligent source that brings it into being.
The fascinating information in DNA is evidence
of the supreme wisdom and creative power
of God.
|
It is calculated that a DNA
chain small enough to fill a teaspoon has the
capacity to store all the information contained
in all the books ever written.
| 
DNA has an alphabet
with four "letters".
|
Of course, such an amazing
structure could never have been formed by chance
and this proves that life is created by God. Not
surprisingly, evolutionists are unable to bring
any explanation to the origin of DNA. However,
they still embrace the "chance" hypothesis
simply for the sake of keeping the theory alive.
A well-known molecular biologist from Australia,
Michael Denton, explains this in h is book Evolution:
A Theory in Crisis:
To the skeptic, the proposition
that the genetic programmes of higher organisms,
consisting of something close to a thousand million
bits of information, equivalent to the sequence
of letters in a small library of one thousand
volumes, containing in encoded form countless
thousands of intricate algorithms controlling,
specifying, and ordering the growth and development
of billions and billions of cells into the form
of a complex organism, were composed by a purely
random process is simply an affront to reason.
But to the Darwinist, the idea is accepted without
a ripple of doubt - the paradigm takes precedence!11

THE INFORMATION IN
THE HELIX
The DNA molecule comprises
millions of base pairs organized in a
helical shape. If a DNA molecule in only
one of our cells were unfolded, it would
make a one-metre long chain. This chain,
squeezed into the cell nucleus, is only
as big as a hundred thousandth of a millimeter
with an amazing "packaging" system.
