In the nucleus of every cell in your body, there is a
DNA molecule, containing all the information
about your body. The color of your hair and your
eyes, information about your internal organs, your
external appearance, your height, and all your
other characteristics are all encoded in your DNA.
To understand how much information is contained
in DNA, consider this comparison: If you wrote
down the information in one DNA molecule, it
would fill a library of 900 volumes of 500 pages
each. To house these encyclopedias, you would
need a library as long as a football field. This much
information, invisible to us, is contained in one sin-
gle molecule.
DNA proves that cells could not have come into
being by chance. This is one of the countless clear
proofs of God’s existence.
