organism. DNA information
is formed by the ordered se-
quence of four nucleotides
known by the letters A, T, C
and G. The least error in the
sequence of these nu-
cleotides will ruin a given
structure completely. For ex-
ample, if a single letter were

reader would care and proba-
bly not even notice. But the displacement of only one "letter" at any point in
a DNA molecule—for example, at the 2,435,268th link of the DNA chain—
could cause serious consequences for a human being.
As just one example, childhood leukemia is caused by the wrong
arrangement in one of the letters in the DNA. As a result of the atomic bomb
dropped on Hiroshima and the radiation leak in Chernobyl,
children were born handicapped or developed leukemia
because of the dangerous effects of mutations
in their bodies.

DNA molecules carry all the genetic information a living creature
needs to develop. It is evident fact that such perfection cannot be
attributed, as evolutionists do, to the operations of chance. Allah
has encoded this information into living cells.
