It's becoming more and more clear from deciphering the genetic codes of viruses, bacteria, insects and humans that DNA is not something that man could have built. "Billions of years of evolution" have produced something more complex than the human mind can comprehend at this point. And yet it's a giant step from this to saying it was the hand of a creator ... But when you take all the little anomalies and complexities together, then it seems difficult to me other than to come to any other conclusion but that there appeared to be some "intelligence" at work. If not God ... Maybe scientists from the planet Zog or something ...

As scientists began to decode the human DNA molecule,they found something quite unexpected - an exquisite "language" composed of some 3 billion genetic leters. DNA actually stores information,the detailed instructions for assembling proteins,in the form of a 4 - character digital code.
It is hard to fathom,but the amout of information in human DNA is roughly equivalent to 12 sets of Encyclopaedia Britannica,an incredible 384 volumes worth of detailed information that would fill 48 feet of library shelves.
Yet, in their actual size,which is only 2 millionths of a millimeter thick,a teaspoon of DNAccording to molecular biologist Michael Denton,could contain all the information needed to build the proteins for all the species of organisms that have ever lived on the earth,and there would still be enough room left for all the information in every book ever written.
Who or what could miniaturize such information and place this enormous numberof "letters" in their proper sequence as a genetic instruction manual? Could evolution have gradually come up with a system like this?
The coding regions of DNA have exactly the same relevant properties as a computer code or language.
" DNA is lke a software program,only much more complex than anything we've ever devised." - Bill Gates
Can you imagine something more intricate than the most complex program running on a supercomputer being devised by accident through evolution,no matter how much time,how many mutations,and how much natural selection are taken into account?

The Living Cell Not Originated by Unintelligent Forces: There is another matter that the thoughtful person will consider before giving the science of genetics the credit for having in its grasp the secret of creation, or even, as some would have us believe, the possession of creative power. It is thought that each “gene” (a part of the DNA molecule) is made up of a chain of some 1,000 “nucleotides” (each nucleotide, containing many atoms, is half of a “rung” on the DNA “ladder”). If just one gene is defective, it can kill the cell’s ability to duplicate itself. Or, when the cell divides, the newly formed cell will be defective. How would cell growth or division ever take place if the thousands of parts making up only one gene had to come together by accident, chance or “blind force” as the evolution theory would require? How much less chance of this when there are said to be tens of thousands of genes in the DNA in each chromosome of a human cell!
Even in the simplest forms of life, the DNA chain is still extremely complex. For example, after twenty years of research, biologists have mapped out only about one third of the genes along the DNA spiral in the “elementary” intestinal bacterium known as Escherichia coli.
If man with his intelligence takes twenty years just to map the composition of a few genes, how would blind forces ever gather the needed material, put it together and make it operate in this complex way? If its DNA chain was only, say, three-quarters or nine-tenths complete, not even a one-celled animal could come to life. No, the creature had to appear whole, all together, at once, or not at all. This requires creation and a Mastermind.
Give Praise to Whom It Belongs:
All these things illustrate the point that we should not be too ready to give men praise beyond what they deserve. We should use good sense and balance. When observing the extremely intricate, even marvelous makeup and operation of living cells, do we see “blind forces” operating? Or do we see the intelligence of an invisible Super Architect, who gave man the brains to search into and understand some of the things of His creation and the laws governing them?—Rom. 1:20.
The Bible tells us that there is one Creator. This is Jehovah God. Of him those whom the Bible describes as “elders” in heaven, of far greater power and insight into earthly creation than men, declare: “You are worthy, Jehovah, even our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they existed and were created.”—Rev. 4:11.

DNA is nothing but a tiny thing in a great thing which is the human body once you know who created the human body you will know for sure who put that tiny part in !

Can't you see everything is perfect in the creation of the earth, sky, space, galaxy's,sun,moon,rain,thunder, etc...... DNA is nothing compared to the human mind that makes you understand what DNA is.

Nope. Those who say otherwise - prove it. Or maybe tell us which of god's great works we'll discover next. Either one would be fine.

Absolutely. Who else could have created such fine work? No human can. It certainly did not fall into place, something so complex and mind blowing. So who did it? God.

probably did His doctoral thesis on it when it was still in the research stages.
