THE MIRACLE IN THE MOSQUITO

the abdomen of the mother or in the egg, and in one respect re-
sembles a computer programme. All the details of the programme
are written into DNA molecules contained in the cell nucleus.
The differences between a mosquito and a human or an ele-
phant and a parrot arise from this different programming in the
cells. At first glance there seems to be little difference between a
newly fertilised animal cell and a newly fertilised human cell. But
each cell divides strictly according to the programme written into
it. Living species emerge as a result of these cell divisions. In the
mosquito too the commands of this programme are obeyed and if
necessary the development of the eggs is halted.
At this point something should be explained: How has this
embryonic programme been created? Who makes the programme
and tells the embryo how to act?

The genetic details of all living creatures are coded in the DNA of their cells.
Also in the case of humans, all details relating to the colour of the eyes and
hair, height, structure of the internal organs and skin colour are coded in the
DNA. This is only one example of the evidence of God’s perfect creation.
