God's signs in the DNA

The question of the existence of God that the


atheists remained for along time devoting
themselves to topple and make it shaky has
become so strong that none but those with blind
hearts can deny. The law of chance and Darwinism,
if put in face of the new discoveries in the universe
and the anatomy of the human body, will be
something ridiculous , such untenable claims
should be closed in the archives of history as it has
never been proved and in the same time self-
contradictory.
Everything from the atom to the galaxy is tailored
to the well being of the human being. The
discovery of the DNA and its constituents and how
it works has dealt another heavy blow to the law of
chance. Allah says in the Holy Quran what means"
We shall show them Our portents on the horizons
and within themselves until it will be manifest unto
them that it is the Truth. Doth not thy Lord suffice,
since He is Witness over all things?(41:53) and
Also God says" And in your creation, and all the
beasts that He scattereth in the earth, are portents
for a folk whose faith is sure.( 45:4)
Bruce Alberts, president of the National Academy
of Sciences, "The entire cell can be viewed as a
factory that contains an elaborate network of
interlocking assembly lines, each of which is
composed of a set of large protein machines."
Even the simplest cells are bristling with high-tech
machinery. On the outside, their surfaces are
studded with sensors, gates, pumps and
identification markers.

Inside, cells are jam-packed with power plants,


automated workshops and recycling units.
Miniature monorails whisk materials from one
location to another. No such system could arise in a
blind, step-by-step Darwinian process.
The most advanced, automated modern factory,
with its computers and robots all coordinated on a
precisely timed schedule, is less complex than the
inner workings of a single cell.
"A bacterium is far more complex than any
inanimate system known to man. There is not a
laboratory in the world which can compete with the
biochemical activity of the smallest living
organism. One cell is more complicated than the
largest computer that man has ever made." - Sir
James Gray, from Cambridge University
DNA is like a language in the heart of the cell, a
molecular message, a set of instructions telling the
cell how to construct proteins-much like the
software needed to run a computer. Moreover, the
amount of information DNA includes is staggering:
A single cell of the human body contains three or
four times more information as all 30 volumes of
the Encyclopedia Britannica. As a result, the
question of the origin of life must now be redefined
as the question of the origin of biological
information. Can information arise by natural
forces alone? Or does it require an intelligent
agent?
DNA is composed of ordinary chemicals (bases,
sugars, phosphates that react according to
ordinary laws. What makes DNA function as a
message is not the chemicals themselves but
rather their sequence, their pattern. The chemicals
in DNA are grouped into molecules (called
nucleotides) that act like letters in a message, and
they must be in a particular order if the message is
going to be intelligible. If the letters are
scrambled, the result is nonsense. So the crucial
question is whether the sequence of chemical
"letters" arose by natural causes or whether it
required an intelligent source. Is it the product of
law or design?
Since DNA contains information, the case can be
stated even more strongly in terms of information
theory, a field of research that investigates the
ways information is transmitted. The naturalistic
scientist has only two possible ways to explain the
origin of life-either chance or natural law. But
information theory provides a powerful tool for
discounting both of these explanations. Both
chance and law lead to structures with low
information *******, whereas DNA has a very high
information *******."
The sequence of basis in DNA can not be explained
by natural law because there are no chemical laws
that make any sequence more likely than another.
At the same time these sequences are so
complicated that they can not be explained by
chance.
"Based on probability factors . . any viable DNA
strand having over 84 nucleotides cannot be the
result of haphazard mutations. At that stage, the
probabilities are 1 in 4.80 x 10[[50]]. Such a
number, if written out, would read:
480,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00
0,00 0,000,000,000,000.
"Mathematicians agree that any requisite number
beyond 10[50] has, statistically, a zero probability
of occurrence (and even that gives it the benefit of
the doubt!). Any species known to us, including the
smallest single-cell bacteria, have enormously
larger number of nucleotides than 100 or 1000. In
fact, single cell bacteria display about 3,000,000
nucleotides, aligned in a very specific sequence.
This means that there is no mathematical
probability whatever for any known species to
have been the product of a random occurrence—
random mutations (to use the evolutionist's
favorite expression)."—I. L. Cohen, Darwin was
Wrong, 1984, p. 205.
The study of DNA provides powerful new evidence
that life is the product of intelligent design.
Today, holding on to the hope that some natural
process will be found to explain DNA is supremely
irrational. The elusive process that naturalists hope
to find would have to be completely
unprecedented, different in kind from any we
currently know.
Although humans share about 97% of their DNA
structure with some higher non-human animals,
those last 3% are so vital that all of human
civilization, religion, art, science, philosophy and,
most importantly, their moral nature depends upon
it.
It is the 3% that distinguishes the theistic view of
man's origin from the non-theistic view, as well as
from the various societal and cultural
consequences distinguishing each belief. As John
Quincy Adams warned long ago, without a belief in
theistic origins [in that three percent difference]
man will have no conscience. He will have no other
law than that of the tiger and the shark."
ON ALL FRONTS, scientists are being forced to face
up to the evidence for an intelligent cause. Ever
since big bang theory was proposed, cosmologists
have had to wrestle with the implications that the
universe had an absolute beginning-and therefore
a transcendent creator. The discovery of the
information ******* in DNA is forcing biologists to
recognize an intelligent cause for the origin of life.
So, too, the fact of irreducible complexity is raising
the question of design in living things.
God says in the Holy Quran what means"And say:
Praise be to Allah Who will show you His portents
so that ye shall know them. And thy Lord is not
unaware of what ye (mortals) do.(27:39)
