literally bringing "evolution" out of the dark ages and into the glorious light of God?

What has been found has profound implications regarding Darwinian evolution, the theory taught in schools all over the world that all living beings have evolved by natural processes through mutation and natural selection.
As scientists began to decode the human DNA molecule, they found something quite unexpected—an exquisite 'language' composed of some 3 billion genetic letters.
It is hard to fathom, but the amount of information in human DNA is roughly equivalent to 12 sets of The Encyclopaedia Britannica—an incredible 384 volumes" worth of detailed information that would fill 48 feet of library shelves!
Every step science takes ACTUALLY MAGNIFIES God's glory.

liljohhny,
Why re-invent the wheel?
btw, did you know that DNA in it's actual size—which is only two millionths of a millimeter thick—a teaspoon of DNA 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? THAT'S the power of God!!

Patron, Thanks.
Who or what could miniaturize such information and place this enormous number of 'letters' in their proper sequence as a genetic instruction manual? Could evolution have gradually come up with a system like this? NOT!!!

manta, Perhaps. Did you know that Bill Gates once commented that "DNA is like a software program, only much more complex than anything we've ever devised." ?

fire, He sure is! 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? No? Only a bonifide bonehead woud.

Hinds, They don't have a leg to stand on. Get this: So to believe that the genetic code gradually evolved in Darwinian style would break all the known rules of how matter, energy and the laws of nature work. In fact, there has not been found in nature any example of one information system inside the cell gradually evolving into another functional information program. Thank you, brother.

clown,
Even one of the discoverers of the genetic code, the AGNOSTIC and recently deceased Francis Crick, after decades of work on deciphering it, admitted that "an HONEST man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle, so many are the conditions which would have had to have been satisfied to get it going". I suppose YOU have more sense that he, huh?

tassadar, It is good to remember that, in spite of all the efforts of all the scientific laboratories around the world working over many decades, they have not been able to produce so much as a single human hair. How much more difficult is it to produce an entire body consisting of some 100 trillion cells! Something to think about, huh. That's how much we DON'T know!

Mrs. M, WE posess the greatest gift to mankind ever: faith in Jesus Christ.
Thank God you are not moved by the distractions of the WORLD.
Up to now, Darwinian evolutionists could try to counter with some possible explanations for the complexity of life. But now they have to face the information dilemma: How can meaningful, precise information be created by accident—by mutation and natural selection? None of these contain the mechanism of intelligence, a requirement for creating complex information such as that found in the genetic code.
Am I right about it?

I agree with Hinds - it stupifies me at the thought of these incredible acts just being random happenstance. I know I'm ignorant in so many things, but for me it is much harder to believe it was all "accident".

My question to those who believe it's just random would be -why then did it stop happening? Why aren't people (like Adam) just poofing into existence? If all the same particles are here that were here when all this whoopdy-doo started happening - what is their explanation that it just stopped?? If everything just popped into existence there wouldn't be any need for the process of conception or birth, right?? The universe would continually make it's own supply of whatever was missing.

It baffles me - I'm thankful that I believe as I do...that we are created beings, not just accidents of matter. Created beings to serve a purpose for the Lord in His Kingdom.

Blessings to you and yours.

-----EDIT----
I think you and I are on the same train of thought, yes. I just don't see how anyone could think it was "accidental" occurance. God is AWESOME!

Too bad atheists will take the ludicrous stand that since variation occurs within a species that variation produced the species from a different species. There is NO evidence for this though you will be told that since all 5,000,000 documented life forms vary genetically that this is proof that they are all related by some distant ancestor in the past. This is presumptive in the highest degree, and I could just as easily speculate that good design is a reusable feature.

No one has EVER shown that one species becomes another - EVER. Period.

Assuming evolution is the natural order of things, and everything evolved from something else...where did the very first thing to ever exist come from?

If we started from a Big Bang, what existed before that?

Doesn't science teach that you cannot create "something" from "nothing"?

So by design, there had to be something (or dare I say it, someone) before the great big bang?

DNA is quite amazing and scientists generally use the term "encoded" when talking about the information found in it. In my opinion this subtle use of diction may imply that it had an encoder, but I doubt many biologists would believe say they believed in an encoder.

Sorry, I don't see how any of this is evidence for god.

You posted some large number, whoop-dee-do.

All you have done is prove how amazingly complex nature is.

And it will continually do so, because the more we learn, the less we realize we know about God's magnificent act of creation.

I don't see any reason to believe that God created us, given the reasons you stated.

"Using the brain that God gave me" was a joke. you have it backwards--because I kept learning, I abandoned Christianity.

Yes, thank goodness we have real scientists who are doing the science for us, and not creationists.
