The important point is that information to make up all of a human
being's organs are contained in the DNA of cells in every part of the
body, whether they be liver or kidney cells, or any other kind of cell.

However, only the proteins to be produced for the organ in question ac-
tually emerge from all that genetic information. In other words, every
cell contains information about the proteins of every organ in the hu-
man body, but does not manufacture them all. Only proteins concern-
ing the organ to be formed are produced. In order for this to happen,
the surface of the DNA is coated with a special protein known as histo-
ne that prevents the production of proteins that have nothing to do
with that particular organ.
One of the greatest secrets that baffle scientists is how the histones
in the cells know which genes to suppress and which to leave activat-
ed, because proteins are simply molecules made up of inan-
imate atoms. Obviously, atoms devoid of consciousness
and intelligence cannot give rise to such a magnificent
marvel of creation.

The coordination in the cells during
differentiation and construction is en-

sured by the DNA molecule. Yet DNA

is not a chemist
equipped with the latest
technology, nor a super-computer
capable of performing trillions of process-
es a second. DNA is a molecule consisting of atoms
like carbon, phosphorus, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen. The tril-
lions of cells in the human body emerge from one another by way of di-
