THE DATA BANK
OF LIFE: DNA
he progress of science makes it clear that
living beings have an extremely complex
T 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 A l l -
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 to
decode the 3 billion chemical letters in DNAand to
determine their sequence. As a result, 85% of the
data included in the DNA of human beings could be
sequenced properly. 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 informa-
tion in DNA.
In order to understand why the decoding of
this information takes so long, we have to under-
stand the nature of the information stored in
DNA.
