DNA Evidence for God

 DNA evidence is often used in criminal proceedings to prove whether or not a suspect was at

the scene of a crime. It is also used to prove that certain convicted criminals were actually

innocent. This can be done because DNA contains unique, meaningful information about the

person from which it came. Coded information.

Meaningful information must come from an intelligent mind, especially if the message is

coded or encrypted. For example, the following pattern is just a random bunch of 1’s and

0’s. It means nothing and it conveys no message at all.

00010100 10001110 10010010 01001001

11101010 01010011 00010110 11010100

00001101 11101001 01100010 11101010

01010111 01101101 10101110 10010010

01110010 00011110 10010110 10100100

01101101 00100100 01111010 10100100

On the other hand, the next pattern is a meaningful binary code.

01001001 01101110 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01100010 01100101 01100111 01101001 01101110 01101110 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01000111 01101111 01100100 00100000 01100011 01110010 01100101 01100001 01110100 01100101 01100100 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01101000 01100101 01100001 01110110 01100101 01101110 00100000 01100001 01101110 01100100 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01100101 01100001 01110010 01110100 01101000 00101110 

It doesn’t look much different but this set of 1’s and 0’s can be decoded and it has a specific

meaning that can be read and understood. It says, “In the beginning God created the

heavens and the earth”

What is the difference? The first pattern was made by senseless random tapping of the ONE

and ZERO keys of my computer. The second pattern is a string of numbers, actually in

groups of eight, and they were generated by a text to binary converter. The converter was

designed by a programmer and can be used to code and decode information. This pattern

contains a meaningful message that can be read and understood. It required intelligence to

write the conversion program and it required a human mind to compose the message and

convert it to binary using the converter.

The DNA molecule is a complex set of chemicals. It seems impossible that it could

accidentally come into being by chance. But suppose it did, would it do anything? No it

would just be a complex molecule in a pool of primordial soup. Before it could do anything, it

would require some support structure to go with it. But even more important, it would

require some information encoded in its structure, some meaningful information. Where

would this information come from?

DNA contains a code similar to a computer code. Computers uses 1’s and 0’s intelligently

arranged in meaningful sequences by programmers using various languages and code

compilers.

DNA contains 4 chemicals abbreviated ACGT that are used to code information. These

chemicals are arranged in a meaning code comprised of base pairs. This code describes the

particular life form that carries the DNA in every cell. The very simplest life form has about

500,000 base pairs of coded information within its DNA. Human DNA has about

3,000,000,000 base pairs of coded information. This code can be read and understood by

scientists who study DNA. They have even learned how to modify the code to bring about

“beneficial” changes in some plants and animals. This is called genetic engineering.

If the DNA code was just a random pattern of chemicals there would be no message, no

meaning. It would not describe a living being and would not function. Just like the simple

binary code shown above required a human mind to lay it out in a meaningful pattern, a

super intelligence (God) was required to create the information contained in the DNA

molecule.

When you look at the DNA molecule, you are looking at concrete evidence that God exists

and that He created the heavens and earth as he said. Meaningful information must come

from a mind. The DNA molecule with its complex code of life came from the mind of God.
