Dictionaries and Human DNA
We have 37 trillion cells in our body. Every one of those cells, whether eye or toe or liver, except for the sperm and egg cells has the same DNA. Your own personal DNA, received at conception. Human DNA is not a small matter. If all the pieces of one cell's DNA were lined up, it would be 6 feet long. According to NIH studies, each cell has an estimated 20,000 to 25,000 genes carrying over 3 billion information points. Since the human genome is diploid, however, having two strands, one on top of the other, one from your mother and one from your father, the actual number of information bits is double that.To get a concept of 6 billion, let us compare it to entries in a dictionary. My 2-inch thick New World Dictionary at home brags about having over 159,000 entries. If I divide 6,000,000,000 (the approximate number of information bits in one human DNA in one cell), by 159,000, I get about 38,000 dictionaries needed for 6 billion entries. If I divide 38,000 by 6 to find out how many feet it would take for 6 billion entries, I come up with about 6,300 feet. There are 5,280 feet in a mile. I would need more than a mile high of dictionaries stacked flat on top of each other to have each dictionary entry correspond to one information bit on one human DNA.
A dictionary is an apt comparison because each entry is in alphabetical order. Likewise each DNA point is in its own precise location and order. DNA, however, is way more complicated than a huge stack of dictionaries. DNA is code, much like computer code, containing an enormous number of logical sequential processes, those required by each species, required at certain times, in all its stages of growth and change, repair and reproduction. Only Someone with intelligence far above ours can imagine, design, and put such inventions into our world, directed by this code.
How could something so complex as human DNA happen by chance? Even if on average, every year, four new bits of information were added, (12 billion bits for 3 billion years for the supposed age of the first known fossils) it would have had to be good useful information that would make two organisms more complex and better able to survive---close enough to each other to mate, in the same time frame, with the same unlikely positive change in the same position along its lengthy DNA. Could an average of TWO good mistakes in two randomly mating individuals ever happen EVERY YEAR by chance, unpurposely changing a simple organism to a human over the course of a given amount of time?
That is a huge random improvement rate that we do not see in any organisms today.
Something very intelligent had to create human DNA. There is no way it could have happened by chance.
