shape with a positive charge distributed on its surface. As a re-
sult of this shape and charge distribution, it enables DNA to
adopt its correct functional form and to store data. The density
of data storage in DNA is thus several billion times that of the
most advanced computers. And by means of this protein, the
95
DNA molecules possess the capacity to store and encode all the
information needed to build and maintain the body.
With the discovery that proteins and DNA molecules have
such a complex structure, it was understood that even if the
whole universe was filled with amino acids, life could never
spontaneously emerge from them. The evolutionist geologist
William Stokes admits this fact:
[Protein] would not occur during billions of years on billions
of planets, each covered by a blanket of a concentrated watery
solution of the necessary amino acids. 96
histone protein
The protein histone assumes a three dimensional shape due to its structure.
This special structure allows the DNA to coil around it and store data.
