DNA and genetics

Within each cell in our body is a DNA molecule, which stores coded information in two long chains. The strands are two yards long, yet less than a trillionth of an inch thick. The DNA of a human stores enough information to fill 1000 books, each with 500 pages of the smallest print. The code is so sophisticated that it can routinely construct an entire adult human starting with just a single microscopic cell. DNA determines the arrangement for our 206 bones, 600 muscles, 10,000 auditory nerve fibers, 2 million optic nerve fibers, 100 billions nerve cells, and 400 feet of blood vessels and capillaries.

The capacity of DNA to store information vastly exceeds that of modern technology. The information in DNA form, specifying the design of all species of organisms that ever lived, could be held in a teaspoon, and there would still be room left over, to hold all the information in every book ever written.

Computer scientists have demonstrated conclusively that information does not and cannot arise spontaneously. Therefore, since DNA is information, the only logical and reasonable conclusion is that DNA was formed by intelligence. This engineering wonder, this intricately ordered biochemical system could never have arisen apart from divine creation. As the psalmist exclaims, "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are Thy works; and my soul knows it very well."
