“On a warm summer day just six months into the new millennium, humankind crossed a bridge into a momentous new era. An announcement beamed around the world, highlighted in virtually all major newspapers, trumpeted that the first draft of the human genome, our own instruction book, had been assembled.
The human genome consists of all the DNA of our species, the hereditary code of life. This newly revealed text was 3 billion letters long, and written in a strange and cryptographic four-letter code. Such is the amazing complexity of the information carried within each cell of the human body, that a live reading of that code at a rate of one letter per second would take thirty-one years, even if reading continued day and night. Printing these letters out in regular font size on normal bond paper and binding them all together would result in a tower the height of the Washington Monument. For the first time on that summer morning this amazing script, carrying within it all of the instructions for building a human being, was available to the world.”
The excerpt was taken from Francis S. Collin’s book “The Language of God”.
Gemplate asks:
- If man cannot make two things like oil and water, cat and dog, man and woman stick together, how can something non-existing bring into being and keep functioning such a multitude of particles in such a tiny space without allowing any outside intervention by making this intervention so disastrous for the interveners that they give up the idea of intervening altogether?
