DNA Fantastic Design

DNA is approximately six feet long in the human body, two millionths of a millimeter thick! DNA is the term for Deoxyribynucleic acid.

The DNA molecule CARRIES the genetic language, but is independent from it! It is a six foot, double helix, containing a four-letter code. In all, it contains three billion genetic letters, equivalent to twelve sets of Encyclopedia Britannica's, 32 volumes each - a total of 384 volumes of information.

The DNA, amazingly enough is "information" within the molecular structure, but the information itself is a "non entity", meaning it is not composed of matter.

It is an "alphabetical" (for lack of a better word) coding system, with correct "spelling, grammar, meaning and design or purpose".

In the world in which we live, human languages, artificial languages that we as humans devise, or the genetic code of the DNA structure are the only types of intelligent communication. What we may find in the animal kingdom is merely a system of "signals" that species may communicate to each other for desired response. This is not categorized as "language" which we are referring to on the human level.

The "information" contained in the DNA structure is not the same as matter or energy. There are various means of transporting the information which may not be "intelligent", but the information itself is an intelligent design. It is the same as some medium - a book or computer disk - that carries the "data", but the data itself is an entity separate from the medium.

The precision of this four digit code is one error per 10 Billion, which may result in contracting some abnormality in the body.

Bill Gates, of Microsoft says "DNA is like a software program, only much more complex that anything we've ever devised."

A mutation may change one individual instruction in a sequence. But cannot change an entire sequence in one step. An individual "change" must involve other changes to accommodate it, or it will not survive.

Says Wernet Gitt, professor of information systems:
"In the Beginning Was Information

1-Since the DNA code has all the essential characteristics of information, there must have been sender of this information.
2-Since the density and complexity of the DNA information is millions of times greater than man's present technology, the sender must be supremely intelligent.
3-Since the sender must have encoded (stored) the information into the DNA molecule and constructed the molecular biomachines to encode, decode and run the cells, the sender must be purposeful and supremely powerful.
4-Since information is a nonmaterial entity and cannot originate from matter, the sender must have a nonmaterial component (spirit).
5-Since information cannot originate from matter and is also created by man, man's nature must have a nonmaterial component (spirit).
6-Since biological information can only originate from an intelligent sender and all theories of chemical and biological evolution are based on the premise that information comes solely from matter and energy (with no sender) then the theories of chemical and biological evolution are false."

Without getting too complicated, I would like to make a comparison with this amazing design and the computer world that we rely on daily.
In the computer world, the Binary code is a FOUR DIGIT CODE. However, each component in the code is either "off" or "on", depending on the electrical impulse, resulting in a "zero" for off and a "one" for on. Thus we have 16 possibilities in the computer language:
0000
0001
0010
0011
0100
0101
0110
0111
1000
1001
1010
1011
1100
1101
1110
1111

The above sixteen possibilities are what is called the "bit" of a "two bit" sequence, which make what is called the "Byte".

With two bits contained in each Byte, we have, for example:

0000 0001
0000 0010
0000 0011
0000 0100
0000 0101
0000 0110
0000 0111
0000 1000
etc.

With two bits, each having 16 combinations, we can therefore have 16 X 16 combinations in each Byte = 256 combinations. Each of these combinations can represent the 26 letters, upper and lower case, numerical characters, symbols, etc.

As a result, each Byte of information in the computer can represent alpha/numerical characters, eventually giving us an intelligent language which is initially fed into it and stored.

Charles Babbage invented this system in 1835, which eventually formed what is known today as International Business Machines, (IBM). The first computer, long before electricity was ever harnessed, was run by mechanical levers which essentially represented the "off" or "on" property to store or give out information in an alphanumerical sequence. Later, the "IBM cards" became a more sophisticated means to do the same thing, having punched holes in them, and mechanical sensors would respond, falling into the hole to react as "on" or not falling to represent "off".

Even as early as the late 1930's this system of information storage and retrieval was used by Germany to keep identification information on citizens during the war.

As advanced as the computer world is in the storage and retrieval of data with it's binary code, it is crude by comparison to a complex DNA structure that does not have sixteen combinations in each 4-digit sequence, but over THREE BILLION letters in it's language!

And in all of this, the scientific world continues to argue that it came about by Darwinian evolution.
