DNA:
THE DATA SOURCE OF LIFE
he progress of science makes it clear
that living beings have an extremely
T complex structure and an order too
perfect to have come into being by coincidence.
This is evidence to the fact that living beings are
created by an All-Powerful Creator with superior
knowledge. Recently, for instance, with the unravelling
of the perfect structure in the human gene-which
became a prominent issue due to the Genome
Project-the unique creation of God has once more
been revealed for all to see.
From the U.S.A. to China, scientists from all
over the world have given their best efforts over
a decade to decode the 3 billion chemical letters in
DNA and to determine their sequence. As a result,
85% of the data included in the DNA of human
beings could be properly sequenced. Although this is a
very exciting and important development, as Dr.
Francis Collins, who leads the Human Genome
Project states, so far, only the first step has been
taken in the decoding of the information in DNA.
In order to understand why the decoding of
this information takes so long, we have to
understand the nature of the information stored
in DNA.
