             of the DNA. As we have seen, dozens of enzymes and proteins are in-
             volved in every stage of the process, yet all fulfill their responsibilities to
             the letter, in perfect harmony.
                  4. After these special precautions, there are still a few more hurdles to
             be overcome. For instance, the information containing the amino-acid se-
             quence in the desired protein may lie anywhere in the long DNA molecule.
             In that case, how is the polymerase enzyme to copy codes indicating infor-
             mation—in other words, the amino-acid sequence— in different locations?
                  It cannot break the DNA, nor skip over unwanted codes. If it contin-
             ues directly along the same lines, it will copy unnecessary data, and the de-
             sired protein will fail to appear.
                  The solution to this problem takes place with an extraordinary phe-
             nomenon. The DNA, as if it were aware that it must assist in the copying
             process, bends in such a way that the region containing the unwanted
             string of code appears on the outside. Thus the ends of code sequences that
             must be read consecutively, but which are separated from one another be-
             cause there are other codes between them, actually join together. In this
             way, the codes that need to be copied appear in a single line, and the poly-
             merase can easily copy the protein in the order docket.
                  5. The extraordinary events that occur in the copying of the order
             docket from the DNA, exhibiting the flawless nature of the creation of
             Almighty God, do not end here. The copying units also must be halted, or
             else the polymerase will copy the entire gene from beginning to end. At the
             end of the gene coding the protein is a codon indicating that the gene has

              The regions marked 1 through 7 contain information that does not
              need to be “read.” Enzymes set out these regions bend them to the
              outside, as shown in the illustration.
