DNA- stores information in a four part code: AGCT or Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine. Each one of 30 000 genes in each of our 23 pairs of chromosomes can yield 20 500 different kinds of proteins.
Quotes
DNA was “our own instruction book, previously known only to God” Francis S. Collins- head of the human genome project, (which mapped the 3 billion codes of the human genome)
“DNA is like a software program, only much more complex than anything people have ever devised” Bill Gates
“DNA has more organized information then the encyclopedia Britannica, if it were to appear in computer code from space, most people would see it as proof of aliens.” Lea Strobel legal editor of Chicago tribune
Causes DNA stores more organized information then the encyclopedia Britannica, there are 3 billion DNA codes mapped out by Francis S. Collins, and they work to write out the instruction manual for our lives. There are 5 main theories of the creation of DNA
1. In 1871 Charles Darwin wrote in a letter that that life might have originated when a protein compound was chemically formed “in some warm little pond” when all the right components came together
“No evidence” (Lea Strobel) if this pond existed it would be rich in amino acids. therefore, there would have been a lot of nitrogen (because amino acid is nitrogenous). So scientists should find large deposits of nitrogen rich minerals in the earliest sediments of earth,
“the nitrogen content of early organic matter is relatively low, just .015%. from this we can be reasonably certain that there never was any substantial amount of “primitive soup” on Earth when pre-Cambrian sediments were formed;if such a soup ever existed it was only for a brief period of time” Jim Brooks, geochemist
2.Random Chance if you let amino acids sit for millions of years life will somehow emerge.
to create the simplest protein molecule structure you need 75 amino acids, all of them have to be the same version (out of two versions), they have to link up in a specified sequence (like letters in a sequence). The odds of forming a rather short functional protein at random would be 1 chance in a 100 thousand trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion thats a 10 with 125 zeros after it. And thats only one protein molecule- a fairly simple cell would need between 300 and 500 protein molecules.
3. Natural Selection natural selection acting on chance variations.
“You cant have natural selection before you have life”
Lea Strobel
natural selection needs reproduction to work, you need a cell division with information- rich DNA and proteins.
4. Chemical Attraction that proteins and DNA can put themselves together, like salt crystals: Na+ (sodium irons) bonds with Ci (chloride irons) to create NaCi
there is a big problem with this theory DNA is spelled out in
a four letter code (ACGT) what if there were a force that
made A automatically bond with C you'd just have a repetitive sentence of ACACACACACACA the same as salt crystal is in a repetitive sentence NACI over and over again, theres another problem with this theory: in DNA certain bonds are caused by chemical attractions, for instance, there are bonds between the sugar and phosphate molecules that form the two twisting backbones of the DNA molecule. But there are no chemical attractions between the DNA letters ACGT. Picture a fridge with magnetic letters on it spelling INFORMATION, there is an attraction to the fridge but not to each other, you can put the letters in any order
5. Intelligent design an intelligent designer, usually thought of as a God, wrote our DNA. designing us, in the bible its says that God “nits us together in our mothers womb”
Who made God?
