he building and management of any high-
tech product utilizes hundreds of years of
the experience and knowledge devel-
oped by mankind. The information and
experience needed for the construction
of the human body, the world's most
advanced and complex system, is found in the
DNA. The point to be stressed here is that DNA, in all its perfec-
tion and complexity, has been in existence from the time of the first
human being. The following pages will show more clearly how ridicu-
lous is the evolutionists' notion that this molecule, whose structure
and features leave one awestruck, could have come about at random,
and by chance.
DNA is carefully protected in a place called the nucleus in the
center of the cell. Remember that in a human being (which can com-
prise up to a trillion cells), the average diameter of a cell is 10 microns
th
(1 micron = 1000 of a millimeter). Now you can see more clearly the
size of the structures we're talking about. This miraculous molecule is
a clear proof of the perfection and superior artistry in God's creativity.
A new scientific field-genetics-has been created to study just the
secrets of this molecule, most of which have not yet come to light.
Despite all our technological breakthroughs, genetics, considered to be
st
the main focus of science of the 21 century, is still in its infant stage
when it comes to solving the mysteries of DNA.

Life in the Nucleus
If we compare the human body to a building, its "floor plan" and
design, including all the particulars and technical details, are all
spelled out in DNA which is contained in the nucleus (Figure 2.1).
