and C, according to the initial letters of their names. All the structural
differences among people depend on variations in the sequences of these
letters. In addition to features such as height, and eye, hair and skin colors,
the DNA in a single cell also contains the design of the 206 bones, the 600
muscles, the 100 billion nerve cells (neurons), 1.000 trillion connections
between the neurons of the brain, 97,000 kilometers of veins, and the 100
trillion cells of the human body. If we were to write down the information
coded in DNA, then we would have to compile a giant library consisting
of 900 volumes of 500 pages each. But the information this enormous
library would hold is encoded inside the DNA molecules in the cell
nucleus, which is far smaller than the 1/100th-of-a-millimeter-long cell
itself.

DNA Cannot Be Explained by Coincidences

At this point, there is an important detail that deserves attention. An
error in the sequence of the nucleotides making up a gene would render
that gene completely useless. When it is considered that there are some
30,000 genes in the human body, it becomes clearer how impossible it is
for the millions of nucleotides making up these genes to have been
formed, in the right sequence, by chance.
The impossibility of the formation of RNA and DNA by a
coincidental accumulation of nucleotides is expressed by the French
scientist Paul Auger in this way:

We have to sharply distinguish the two stages in the chance formation of
complex molecules such as nucleotides by chemical events. The production
of nucleotides one by one—which is possible—and the combination of these
within very special sequences. The second is absolutely impossible. 258
For many years, Francis Crick believed in the theory of molecular
evolution, but eventually even he had to admit to himself that such a
complex molecule could not have emerged spontaneously by chance, as
the result of an evolutionary process:
An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could
only state that, in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to
be almost a miracle. 259
