                                                 THE INFORMATION IN THE HELIX
                            C              The DNA molecule comprises millions of base
                                             pairs organized in a helical shape. If a DNA

              T                        molecule in only one of our cells were unfolded, it
                                         would make a one-metre long chain. This chain,
                                         squeezed into the cell nucleus, is only as big as a
              alphabet with A               hundred thousandth of a millimeter with an
                                                         amazing "packaging" system.
              DNA has an

              four "letters".
                                        However, they still embrace the
                                        "chance" hypothesis simply for the
                sake of keeping the theory alive. A well-known molecular
                biologist from Australia, Michael Denton, explains this in his book
                Evolution: A Theory in Crisis:
                  To the skeptic, the proposition that the genetic programmes of higher
                  organisms, consisting of something close to a thousand million bits of
                  information, equivalent to the sequence of letters in a small library of
                  one thousand volumes, containing in encoded form countless
                  thousands of intricate algorithms controlling, specifying, and
                  ordering the growth and development of billions and billions of
                  cells into the form of a complex organism, were composed by a
                  purely random process is simply an affront to reason. But to the
                  Darwinist, the idea is accepted without a
                  ripple of doubt - the paradigm takes
                  precedence! 11
