Besides, the operating system
in your computer often shuts
down or freezes and you
have to restart it. It even

crashes, so that you lose all
your information. However,
nothing happens to your
body's software as long as you

are alive. If there is an error in
this software, another part of
the program corrects it and
eliminates the problem.

But the software in your body
is not composed of green digital numbers
and letters as in The Matrix Reloaded, but is made up of molecules—parts of a
gigantic chain of molecules called DNA in the nucleus of each cell of the trillions

that comprise your body.
Your DNA data bank contains all of your body's characteristics. This gigantic
molecule is composed of a series of four different chemical units called bases.
Like a four-letter alphabet, these bases store the information about all the or-

ganic molecules that will construct your body. That is, these chemical building
blocks are not arranged randomly, but according to particular information,
divided into "sentences" and "paragraphs" that scientists call genes. Each
gene describes various details of your body—for example, the structure of

your eye's transparent cornea, or the formula of the insulin hormone that
lets your cells make use of the sugar you eat.
The discovery of DNA is acknowledged to be one of the most impor-
tant in the history of science. In 1953, two young scientists by the name of

Francis Crick and James Watson determined this molecule's existence and
structure. In the half century since then, a significant part of the scientific
world has tried to understand, decode, and read DNA, and put it to use. One
of the greatest strides in this effort, the Human Genome Project, was begun in

the 1990s and completed in 2001. The scientists directing this project se-
quenced the human genome—that is, the totality of all human genes—and
took its flawless "inventory."
Of course, the Human Genome Project was to benefit not only

medical and genetic engineers, but various professionals
in all fields. But an equally, if not more important re-
How human beings were depicted as
sult was the insight it provided about the origins of units of a very complex "software" in
DNA. In a news item headlined "Human Genome The Matrix was actually not all that far
from the truth.
Map Has Scientists Talking About the Divine" in the
San Francisco Chronicle, this was explained by Gene
Myers, who worked for Celera Genomics, the producer company of the project:

We're deliciously complex at the molecular level. We don't understand ourselves yet, which is cool. There's still
a metaphysical . . . element. What really astounds me is the architecture of life. The system is extremely complex.

It's like it was designed. There's a huge intelligence there. 47

The information contained in DNA invalidates Darwinism's view of life as the product of random
chance and destroys its materialist "reductionist" foundation.
