D DNA is a Stable Molecule
DNA is the most suitable molecule for carrying information. Che-
mists refer to it being stable, which means the molecule is not easily
damaged or dissolved. Scientists engaged in research in the field of mo-
lecular biology are well aware of the importance of this stability, be-
cause DNA's structure is far more resistant than most biochemicals
used in the laboratory. Unlike many biochemicals, it can preserve its
stability for months in solution, even at room temperature. Prof. Da-
27
niel Dennet expresses the stable nature of the bases in DNA:
One of the important features of DNA is that all the permutations of se-
quences of adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine are about equally
stable, chemically. All could be constructed, in principle, in the gene-
splicing laboratory, and, once constructed, would have an indefinite shelf
like a book in a library. 28
All shows that the DNA molecule is specially created to contain
and conceal information. It is absolutely impossible for all of DNA's
properties to have come into existence togather instantaneously, as the
result of chance. Each one of these has been consciously brought to-
gether at our Almighty Lord's command.
In one verse of the Qur'an, Allah reveals that:
. . . That is Allah, your Lord. The Kingdom is His. Those you call on be-
sides Him have no power over even the smallest speck. (Surah Fatir, 13)
