Why wouldn't He encode whatever truths He has to say into our minds through DNA?

he wouldn't, period.
Why would God waste his time speaking to one single person, knowing that so many would REASONABLY question this person's words? Why would he not simply show up in the middle of the Roman Colosseum in front of thousands and give them something substantial?

Whoa, encode? Interesting idea.
Maybe he did just that. Most of the entire world knows that the bible was written by men and has nothing to do with God.

you're misinformed. no person interior the LDS Church "votes" on the prophet. it fairly is purely not carried out. The prophet is chosen by technique of God, as is the way defined interior the Bible. LDS contributors get of challenge to, what's talked approximately as, "sustain" every person given a "calling" interior the church be it the prophet or weekly "hymn e book straightener." the prospect to "sustain" is a fashion of publicly affirming until now God which you will help and help the guy as is needed. that is not a vote.

He (God) is just busy with the ever expanding creation.
And thus has delegated authority to chosen representatives.
Difficult to change the model. Maybe on some other planet you may find advanced models of 'Human Beings"

Maybe he did and we all learned to ignore it at a very early age because it was too deep to contemplate.....just as the Bible seems to be too thick to read and too deep to contemplate...I've noticed most get out of it by parroting : "Men wrote it"...Try reading it.....Look at the scholarship on both sides,come to an informed opinion and at least recognise there's something there..

Maybe you could have been a deity. If it was in your DNA how could you choose to believe? Free will requires informed consent or rejection of the tenants of a faith.

He wants us to love and follow Him because we choose to love Him and follow Him, not because that's all we can do. Think of it. If you have a loved one that tells you, "I love you." because that's all s/he can say, would it really man anything to you? Now how about if s/he had the ability to say the opposite, "I hate you." but chose too say "I love you." to you instead?
That's why He gave us the Bible. So we can choose to read it and follow it and learn about Him. He used many people thoughtout the ages as secretaries just so that we can be His close and intimate friends... because we choose to do so.

Maybe she's shy.
And the DNA thing would be the easy way out.
Just kidding.
She didn't, she isn't.

Because when He tells us something, we don't believe Him. And when our Heart (or our DNA) tells us something, we choose not to listen.
