The human body, on the other hand, possesses a structure trillions of
              times more complex than the name of a building or the words "I have
              won," and it is again totally impossible to imagine that this complexity
              could have come about of its own accord, or by chance. Moreover, the
              trillions of DNA that billions of living things have possessed for millions
              of years have been used in the most intelligent manner, written in the
              most perfect manner with no flaws, and placed in a tiny area invisible to
              the naked eye. That being the case, there is a Creator who planned and
              designed the cell and the DNA inside it so perfectly. Claiming the
              opposite means to go beyond the bounds of reason and attack the very
              foundations of truth, reason and logic.
                   Nevertheless, many people, who would readily say that it is

              impossible for letters to arrange themselves to form even three little words,
              can listen without objection to the deceit that it was all as a result of
              "coincidences" that billions of atoms came together one by one in a
              planned sequence and formed a molecule such as DNA, which performs
              such a super-complex task. This is just like a hypnotized person's
              submitting to the hypnotist and accepting by suggestion that he is a door,
              a tree or a lizard…
                   Flawless design samples in DNA are not limited to the above-
              mentioned examples. The coding of the data in DNA has been designed
              in a much more fascinating and amazing way.


                   The DNA Alphabet
                   The DNA in the cell nucleus has a spiral structure. When this is

              opened out, DNA turns into a long, thin string a metre or so in length. The
              way that a metre or so of DNA is squeezed into a minute cell nucleus is a
              subject requiring further consideration.
                   The atoms making up DNA have a superior design allowing the
              maximum amount of information to be carried in the smallest possible
              area. Three elements are found at every step of the two spiral ladders that
              twist around each other: sugar, phosphate and hydrogen-containing
