Heredity is what gene expression is passed on from one generation to another. This gene expression also determines whether you are male or female. Yes, all information for both male and female are in the DNA in the cells of your body. Some gene expressions only take place when needed such as the stimulation of the thyroid gland. It secretes its hormone only when stimulated to do so by a hormone that is released by the pituitary gland. The total information of the DNA in man is known as the Human Genome.

Viruses are DNA and Protein. In some viruses RNA substitutes for DNA. The virus injects its RNA into the cell and uses the cell DNA to replicate itself.111/18

DNA & Information

Where does information come from? Some say it comes from random chance. Information, however, always comes from an intelligent source. What is information? A representation of something. But there is a great gulf between the representation of something and the object itself. Having information is not the same as the object itself. Einstein taught what is now known as Einstein’s Gulf. Einstein stated that there is a difference between our impression of things, that is hard objects, and the world of concepts, ideas or meaning. Between these two realms is a logical gulf that he stated were unbridgeable without outside intelligence to bridge them.

To create an object you first need a concept. A representation can serve for the basis of the creation of an object like the manufacture of a car. However, the car cannot exist without the representation, the plans, the blue prints from which the car is created. First you must design it, second set up the tools to manufacture the parts and then create an assembly plant to put it together.

Before an object can exist it must first be preceded by information about how the object is to be made. However, the object cannot create a representation of itself from the blue print. The car cannot recreate itself from a set of blue prints for making a car. Making the car from the blue prints requires a third factor: an intelligent source that can read and decode the blue prints to make the car, but the car cannot make itself. It is impossible for an object to transform itself into a representation of itself. Einstein pointed out that material matter is not able to create a representation of itself, an object is only what it is, an object, nothing more.

This creates problems for Evolutionists when it comes to existing information in the genetic code for example. The genetic code is a representation of the human body. According to evolution the genetic code came from unintelligent matter; but we just learned that material matter cannot produce its own representation. DNA, the blue print for the human body, contains the information for making and maintaining a human body; but DNA, if left to itself, can neither reproduce itself or decipher the information stored in itself to create the needed proteins to create and maintain the human body. First, If there is information in a DNA molecule it had to come from an intelligent outside source, it could not be self generated. Second, DNA is nothing more than a blue print for the creation and maintenance of a body, like the blue print for a car. Just as the blue print for a car cannot make a car, neither can the DNA molecule make and maintain a human body. An outside intelligent source is required to extract the information from the DNA molecule to make the body just as an intelligent outside source is required to extract the information from the blue prints to make a car. This is what is meant by the Einstein Gulf. It is less impossible and ridiculous to believe you could walk out into a field of stones and find the works of Shakespear written by chance than to believe the highly ordered complex information in DNA came about by chance. Without an intelligent creator we cannot explain the existing information in the DNA or the DNA molecule at all.

DNA is a language just like any other language. It has letters, it has an alphabet of four letters. It has words which are all three letters long. It has sentences, it has punctuation, it has a dictionary. It has everything we find in a human language. Therefore it is a true language which communicates how physical human life exists; it is equal to any language because it shares the same qualities, grammatical qualities and so forth. As one looks at the world, one finds that information does not exist apart from an intelligent source which created that information. A dictionary is thousands of times less complicated than a DNA molecule, but you would be laughed in the face if you claimed it came about by chance.

How much information is contained in the Human DNA? Some have estimated that it is several sets of encyclopedias of information. Not only is DNA a blue print for life, but is specifically designed for the life and function of each different kind of creature. Take the Ameba for example: not only does DNA specify all its needed proteins but is also equipped to deal with any possible factors within the environment that it lives. This is true for any living form on earth. Wherever they are found, we find that their genetic code has built in factors to deal with and adjust to the environment they find themselves in. This shows omnipotent intelligent design.

Evolutionists in some ways admit that information is the result of intelligence. For example: when evolutionary scientists are looking for ETs in the universe, they tune their radios toward space to listen for a message. If they were to find a radio message from outer space that did not originate from earth, How would they know that it came from an intelligent source? Because of the fact that it contains information. Where did the information come from? It had to come from an intelligent source. This then would be their proof that there is intelligent life in the universe. However, they are inconsistent when the evidence points to divine intelligence. They look at the DNA molecule which is many times more complex and full of complex information than a possible radio message from outer space and assume that it did not come from an intelligent source but only by chance random collisions of molecules.

Piano sheet music by itself is of no more value than a rock. The same is true of the piano. However if an intelligent human being who knows how to decipher the sheet music and transcribe it to the keyes of the piano sits down and plays the piano, you then have music full of intelligent beautiful information to the hearer. In the same way the DNA molecule, though a highly complex molecule, is of no more value than any other material object by itself. This is why if even you were to have DNA molecules floating around in the ocean, this does not constitute intelligent information. This is because there is nothing there to decode the information for an intended intelligent purpose. We call the DNA information only because within the living cell are mechanisms which are able to decipher that code into messenger RNA which is then able to translate it into Protein molecules for a beneficial purpose which means intelligent design. However, there is no useful information in the DNA without the living cell to decode and use it.

Not only did God create the DNA molecule but a system which is able to read this blue print to create the human body. This incredible living design shows the character and the infinite intelligence of our Creator.
