HIGHEST CLASS

“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?

 

The world is full of living things of different order and complexity like plants, animals, birds, fish and human beings. There is no doubt that human beings are the most complex of all. It is because of this complexity that people have started to believe in evolution in an attempt to explain it. We are complex, but our complexity is limited. This is evident from the way we are made and we function.

We have eyes to see the world and evaluate how much it’s worth.
We have ears to listen to the voice of things and each other’s too.
We have mouths to eat and sip and lips to kiss a loved indeed.
We have noses to breathe and smell life’s pure taste and act as well.
We have hands to work and play and help our friends in need and fail.
We are capable to calculate and build up towers of glamour and daze.

These are some of the parts of our body and their functions. They seem simple and natural but they are very complex and difficult to analyze. Centuries of investigative work and experimenting have been necessary to describe them in greater detail and there is a lot yet to be described. There is no other creature as complex and as developed as we are.
What would happen if we didn’t have some of the parts we have? We would still function, but in a “deficient” way.And without a brain or a heart, we would not function at all.
What would happen if we had parts different from those we have now ─ wings instead of hands, tails instead of legs? We would function in a different way. The same would happen if we had wings and tails in addition to the parts we have.
However, we are what we are and nobody can change that. We can’t add parts that we don’t have and we can’t function normally without the parts that we have. And this is just our body.
Inside it is an invisible being which nobody has been able to investigate and describe in exact terms for lack of knowledge or equipment to do that. But the fact that we communicate and make things like food, clothes, machines, buildings, science, literature, music, etc. shows that we are much more complex than what we appear to be on the outside. The existence of mental diseases also testifies to the fact that this inner being is there and that it must not be altered the way the outer form must not be altered. Because when it is altered, we suffer.
We are complex, but we are limited in this complexity. We can do great things but not greater than the limitations within which we function. We can make rockets and stations but we cannot make planets or new creations. We can travel to other planets but we cannot live on other planets. We exist in time and space and we cannot exist out of time and space. Also, we cannot become less complex or more complex than we are. We can only be what we are within the range of abilities and possibilities there are.

Gemplate asks:

• Is this a pure coincidence or a purposeful design pointing to the existence of a designer who is in control of both the possibilities and the limitations within which these possibilities take place?
