muscular spasms appear in the arms,
            legs and face. Since this fatal and
            incurable disease also affects the brain,
            the sufferer's memory and powers of
            thought grow progressively weaker.
                 All these genetic diseases reveal
            one important fact: the genetic code is
            so sensitive and balanced, and so
            minutely calculated, that the smallest
            change can lead to very serious
            consequences. One letter too many or
            too few can lead to fatal sicknesses, or
                                                         ADowns Syndrome child with
            lifelong crippling effects. For this
                                                         one extra chromosome in the
            reason, it is definitely impossible to              st
                                                               21 chromosome pair.
            think that such a sensitive equilibrium
            came about by chance and developed by means of mutations, as the
            theory of evolution would have us believe. That being the case, how did
            the enormous information within DNA come about and how was it
            encoded? Evolutionists, who base the roots of life on coincidences, have
            actually no comment to make on the subject of the roots of life. When you
            ask them about the roots of DNA, in other words the genetic code, you get
            the same reply from all of them. Leslie E. Orgel for instance, one of the
            foremost evolutionist biochemists of our time, offers the following reply:
                 We do not understand even the general features of the origin of the genetic
                 code . . . [It] is the most baffling aspect of the problem of the origins of life
                 and a major conceptual or experimental breakthrough may be needed
                 before we can make any substantial progress. 5
                 Those who claim that millions of pages, billions of pieces of
            information were written by chance are of course left quite speechless in
            this way. In the same way that every book or piece of information has a
            writer or owner, so does the information in DNA: and that Creator is our
            Lord God, the possessor of superior and infinite knowledge and reason.
