DNA:  The Language Of Life

Astronomy is not the only area where science has seen evidence for design. Molecular biologists have discovered intricately complex .design in the microscopic world of DNA . In the past century scientists learned that a tiny molecule called DNA
is the "brains" behind each cell in our bodies as well as every other living thing. Yet the more they discover about DNA the more they are amazed at the brilliance behind it. 

Scientists who believe that the material world is all that exists (materialists), like Richard Dawkins, argue that DNA evolved by natural selection without a Creator. Yet even most ardent evolutionists admit that the origin of DNA'sintricate complexity is unexplainable.

DNA's intricate complexity caused its co-discoverer, Francis Crick, to believe that it could never have originated on earth naturally. Crick, an evolutionist, who believed life is too complex to have originated on earth and must have come from outer space, wrote: 

"An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to almost be a miracle, so many are the conditions which would have had to be satisfied to get it going."

The coding behind DNA reveals such intelligence  that it staggers the imagination. A mere pinhead of  DNA contains information equivalent to a stack of paperback books that would encircle the earth 5,000 times. And DNA operates like a language with its own extremely complex software code. Microsoft Founder, Bill Gates says that the software of DNA is "far, far more complex than any software we have ever developed."

Dawkins and other materialists believe that all this complexity originated through natural selection. Yet, as Crick remarked, natural selection could never have produced the first molecule. Many scientists believe that the coding within the DNA molecule points to an intelligence far exceeding what could have occurred by natural causes .

In the early 21st century, leading atheist, Antony Flew's atheism came to an abrupt end when he studied the intelligence behind DNA.  Flew explains what changed his opinion: 
    "
    What I think the DNA material has done is to          show that intelligence must have been involved 
    in getting these extraordinarily diverse                    elements together. The enormous complexity by 
    which the results were achieved look to me like
    the work of intelligence......  it now seems to me 
    that the finding of more than fifty years of DNA
    research have provided materials for a new and
    enormously  powerful argument to design.

" 


Although Flew was not a Christian, he admitted that the software behind DNA
is far too complex to have originated without a "designer."  The discovery of the incredible intelligence  behind DNA has, in this former leading  atheist's words  "provided materials for a new and enormously powerful argument to design."
