Every nucleotide contains roughly 34 atoms. Since there are a
total of 6 billion nucleotides in DNA, 204 billion atoms (34
times 6,000,000,000) are bonded to one another, by our Lord's
choosing, in such a way as to constitute a human being.
… [E]ach nucleotide has to be "written" in pre-
cisely the correct order and in precisely the cor-
rect location in the DNA molecule for the off-
spring to remain viable, and as described earli-
er, major functional disorders in humans, ani-
mals, and plants are caused by the loss or dis-
placement of a single DNA molecule, or even a
single nucleotide within that molecule. 21
Every base sequence in the DNA strip–the
arrangement of the nucleotides adenine, thy-
mine, cytosine and guanine in the cell nucle-
us–constitutes a genetic text containing infor-
mation needed for the building of essential pro-
teins. From that point of view, it is noteworthy
that DNA maintains its regular structure on the
one hand while on the other having an arrange-
ment that permits information diversity.

A single DNA strip in human cells consists
of around 3 billion base pairs and is approxi-
mately 2 meters long. Both chains of that length
need to be reduced in size to dimensions invis-
ible to the eye. Similarly to the way in which a
