one another. The basic structure and functions of the
organs are the same in everyone. Yet everyone is spe-
cially created with such fine differences and in such a de-
tailed manner that although all human beings develop the
same basic structure through the division of a single cell,
the result is still billions of people with wholly different
appearances.
The arrangement of the letters in DNA deter-
mines a person's characteristics, right down to the
tiniest details. In addition to features such as
height and the colors of one's eye, hair and skin
color, blueprints for the 206 bones in the body,
600 muscles, a 10,000-component network of
hearing nerves, 2 million-part network of
optic nerves, 100 billion nerve cells, blood
vessels 130,000,000,000 meters (80,780,000
miles) in length and 100 trillion cells all ex-
ist in the DNA in a single cell. The Canadi-
an science writer Denyse O'Leary refers to
the information in DNA:
The truly puzzling type of information is the type
that is characteristics of human artifacts, and is also
written in our DNA. It does not follow a repetitive pat-
tern. But it has a pattern that relates it to other information
and it is complex. For example, the DNA in a cat embryo is a
complex series of instructions for a kitten that the embryo is car-
rying out. 67
Since not even a single word cannot form in the absence of a
writer, how did the billions of "letters" in the human genome come in-
to existence? How have these letters been arranged in a meaningful
way to constitute the matchless blueprint for such perfect and complex
