God Has Created The Beautiful World Of Plants 73

Dr. Lee Spetner writes:
How does an acorn know it has to grow into an oak tree
and not into a sunflower? . . . The science of biology took
a pivotal turn about 40 years ago when biologists began to
learn how information plays its role in living organisms.
We have discovered the location of the information in the
organism that tells it how to function and how to grow,
how to live and how to reproduce. The information is in
the seed as well as in the plant; it's in the egg as well as in
the chicken. The egg passes the information to the
chicken it becomes, and the chicken passes it to the egg it
lays, and so on. 14
