terruptions. However, if the base adenine were to be paired with gua-
nine just once, instead of with thymine, it would be impossible for the
helix structure to proceed in a regular manner. Any error in the se-
quence might thus entirely impair the molecule's chemical structure
and prevent the data being used, copied and transmitted. This again in-
dicates that the sequence cannot be the work of chance.
The distance between the turns of neighboring base pairs is also
stable. This system ensures equidistance between the staircase coils,
some 10 base pairs –in other words, 10 steps– form a complete revolu-
30
tion of 360 degrees. DNA coils a billion times a second, and the stair-
case steps twist by performing their spiral movement. 31 This action
plays a very important role in DNA's performing two vital functions--
directing the formation of protein and self-replication.
Prof. Werner Gitt, director of the German Federal Institute of
Physics and Technology, says this about this special structure:
The coding system used for living beings is optimal from an engineering
standpoint. This fact strengthens the argument that it was a case of pur-
poseful design [Creation] rather than fortuitous chance . 32
