The frontiers of genetic engineering grew as DNA was discovered in 1953. As you know, DNA deoxyribonucleic acid is the principle carrier of genetic information in almost all organisms. The exceptions are viruses which use RNA, ribonucleic acid. Your chromosomes are a part of your DNA; its double-helix structure allows the chromosomes to be copied exactly during the process of cellular division. Complicated? Not really. So what-you ask? So you would probably be a single cell amoeba, clinging to a piece of seaweed in the ocean without it. Thank you Lord, for your intelligent design!
It’s estimated, there are over 3 billion genes in human DNA. It’s estimated, that only about 50,000 to 100, 000 are active in sending messages. What are the rest of them doing? Are they on vacation? No-they are doing exactly what they are designed to be doing, working their magic, toiling in silence, keeping us functional, and waiting to be discovered. Thank you Lord, for your intelligent design!
The Bible is full of stories of anonymous people in life behind the scenes. The centurion at the cross, the woman at the well in Sychar, the man who was healed of leprosy, the woman with the bleeding problem, the man who led a blinded Paul into Damascus, the crowd who watch an innocent Stephen be stoned to death. These individuals are the double-helix that carries history forward to a new generation. Thank you Lord, for your intelligent design!
Acts 7:26 clarifies genetics and our genealogy by saying, “And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on the face of the earth.” It shouldn’t be a surprise that Genesis contains genes of our beginnings. Thank you Lord, for your intelligent design.
