CONSIDER THE EVIDENCE

Who Assembled the "Library"? 

If reason tells us that "John 1800" engraved into rock must have an intelligent mind as its source, should not also the infinitely more complex and meaningful information is information no matter where it is found or what the medium may be. Computer and information scientists Donald E. Johnson said that the laws of chemistry and physics are unable to create complex information or systems that process that information.And it stands to reason that the more complex a package of information, the greater  the intelligence needed to write it. A child could write "John 1800."  But only a superhuman mind could write the code of life;. What is more, "the complexity of biology has seemed to grow by orders of magnitude" with every new discovery, says the journal Nature.

To attribute the complex library of information in DNA to blind, unguided processes conflicts with both reason and human experience. Such belief also stretches faith to the breaking point.

In their efforts to remove God from the picture, evolutionists have, at times, drawn conclusions that were later found to be wrong. Consider, for example, the view that some 98 percent of our genome is "junk"-a library of recipes with billions of useless words.

HOW LONG IS YOUR DNA?

Stretched out, the DNA is one cell of your body is about six feet (2 m) long. If you were to extract the DNA from all your body's trillions of cells and put the strands end to end, the total length according to some estimates would be nearly 670 times the distance from the earth to the sun and back. To travel that distance at the speed of light would take about 185 hours.
