The molecule
called DNA
contains the
complete con-
struction plan
of the human
body.

At this point, an important detail deserves attention. An error in the
sequence of nucleotides making up a gene renders the gene completely
useless. When we consider that there are 200 thousand genes in the human
body, it becomes more evident how impossible it is for the millions of
nucleotides making up these genes to form by accident in the right
sequence. An evolutionist biologist, Frank Salisbury, comments on this
impossibility by saying:
A medium protein might include about 300 amino acids. The DNA gene con-
trolling this would have about 1,000 nucleotides in its chain. Since there are
four kinds of nucleotides in a DNA chain, one consisting of 1,000 links could
exist in 4 1000 forms. Using a little algebra (logarithms), we can see that
4 1000 =10 600 . Ten multiplied by itself 600 times gives the figure 1 followed by
600 zeros! This number is completely beyond our comprehension. 15
The number 4 1000 is equivalent to 10 600 . We obtain this number by
adding 600 zeros to 1. As 10 with 11 zeros indicates a trillion, a figure with
600 zeros is indeed a number that is difficult to grasp.
Evolutionist Prof. Ali Demirsoy was forced to make the following admis-
sion on this issue:
In fact, the probability of the random formation of a protein and a nucleic
acid (DNA-RNA) is inconceivably small. The chances against the emergence
of even a particular protein chain are astronomic. 16
