                                       Direction of copying
               All the elements in DNA copying behave according to Allah's command. With the
               abilities bestowed on them by Allah they are able to carry out a process so perfect
               and essential for human life.


               ymerase, whose job is to make provide each separated arm of the DNA
               with a new strip. To do this, it finds and brings in the appropriate data
               comprising each of the DNA strips. An enzyme made up of atoms, de-

               void of any consciousness or intelligence, identifies the information
               needed to complete the two DNA halves, and installs them according-
               ly. During the course of all of this, it makes not the slightest error, but

               completes and identifies all the 3 billion letters concerned one by one,
               with perfect accuracy.
                   At this point, another polymerase enzyme completes the other
