CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE CELL

THE DEVICE IN YOUR BODY THAT CAN COPY

A MILLION PAGES OF INFORMATION

IN TWENTY MINUTES

It's long been known that cells multiply by division. During this
process, the DNA found in the nucleus of each cell needs to be
copied for each new "daughter" cell. During this process of repli-
cation, an amazing event takes place that requires consideration.
DNA's data bank, made up of three billion letters, is able to
store massive amounts of information concerning the living organ-
ism. To write down all the information contained in DNA would
require an encyclopaedia of approximately 1,000 volumes, with a
total of a million pages. Therefore, the replication of DNA and the
copying of a million-page encyclopaedia are comparable. But do
you know how long this process of DNA replication takes?
Between 20 and 80 minutes!
Now, that means that the equivalent of one million pages of
writing can be copied, with no mistakes or deficiencies, in a peri-
od of less than two hours—and sometimes, under a half hour. No
photocopier or any other technological device available today can
complete this copying process faultlessly, in such a short period of
time. And consider that no technological machines are carrying
out this process, but cells that we cannot even see with the naked
eye. Now ask yourself:
Who possesses the power and mind, will and knowledge to
bring about this amazing organization? What realizes that the
DNA must be copied when a cell divides? What brings about this
replication in the fastest, most perfect way, and which allows for
any mistakes to be fixed immediately?
Clearly, it's illogical and senseless to claim that this whole com-
plex, faultless and perfect system came about as a result of coinci-
