DNA is the core substance of our humanity. It is the
belief [in] a higher power... Of course, some scien-
tists and writers dismiss this spiritual notion as
pure superstition. [This is certainly a great error of
theirs!] Thus Richard Dawkins has observed that
"we are machines built by DNA whose purpose is to

make copies of the same DNA... It is every living ob-
ject's sole reason for living." Really? Is there nothing
about being human that is different from being a
bacterium or a slug?
Can the study of genetics and molecular biology re-
ally account for the universal intrinsic knowledge of
right and wrong common to all human cultures in
all eras...? Can it account for the unselfish form of
love that the Greeks called agape? Can it account for
the experience of feeling called to sacrifice for others
even when our own DNA may be placed at risk?
While evolutionary biologists proffer various expla-
nations for human behaviors that undermine the ef-
ficient propagation of our genes, there is something
about those claims that rings hollow to us.

The notion that science alone holds all the secrets of
our existence has become a religion of its own…
Science is the proper way to understand the natural,
of course; but science gives us no reason to deny
that there are aspects of human identity that fall
outside the sphere of nature, and hence outside the

As Collins noted, chains of molecules consist-
ing of carbon-hydrogen-nitrogen-oxygen com-
pounds cannot possibly endow a person with such

feelings as love, devotion, taking pleasure from art,
