The DNA - God’s Intelligent Design

 

            The Creation of the living things of the waters[1]

“But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being, and the earth was formed out of the water and by water.” (2 Peter 3:5).

 

On the fifth day of creation, as he had done during the entire creation process, God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and moves about in it,[2]according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.”[3]

In the creation of living things and the great creatures of the sea, the mind of Christ, the Word creating at the beginning with God,[4] elaborates a great design, a tiny molecule called DNA.[5] In that tiny molecule, he encoded all the information with the different characteristics of those living things coming out from the waters.[6] In its due time, the small molecule had to open reading its language that the Creator encoded in its genome[7], with the key to producing proteins that would appease the development of the living things and the wondrous creatures out of the waters, according to their gender.[8]

[1] Thales of Miletus (flourished 6th century BCE), a philosopher renowned as one of the legendary Seven Wise Men, or Sophoi, of antiquity (see philosophy, Western: The pre-Socratic philosophers). He is remembered primarily for his cosmology based on water as the essence of all matter, with the Earth a flat disk floating on a vast sea. The Greek historian Diogenes Laërtius (flourished 3rd century CE), quoting Apollodorus of Athens (flourished 140 BCE), placed the birth of Thales during the 35th Olympiad (apparently a transcription error; it should read the 39th Olympiad, c. 624 BCE) and his death in the 58th Olympiad (548–545 BCE) at the age of 78.

[2]Carl Zimmer, Ancient Viruses Are Buried in Your DNA. Matter – October 4, 2017 - Scientists reported that a strange protein courses through the veins of pregnant women. No one is sure what it’s there for. What makes this protein, called Hemo, so unusual is that it’s not made by the mother. Instead, it is made in her fetus and the placenta by a gene originally from a virus that infected our mammalian ancestors more than 100 million years ago. Some of our ancient viruses may protect us from disease; others may raise our cancer risks, among other conditions. “It’s not an either-or — are these things good or bad? It’s a lot more complicated than that,” Dr. Katzourakis said in an interview. “We’re barely at the beginning of this research.”

[5] DNA - Deoxyribonucleic acid is a molecule that contains the instructions an organism needs to develop, live and reproduce. These instructions are found inside every cell and are passed down from parents to their children. DNA is made up of molecules called nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a sugar group, and a nitrogen base. The four types of nitrogen bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). These bases' order determines DNA's instructions or genetic code. Human DNA has around 3 billion bases, more than 99 percent of which are the same in everyone.  www.livescience.com

[6] Bacteria are microscopic, single-celled organisms that exist in their millions, in every environment, both inside and outside other organisms. Some bacteria are harmful, but most serve a useful purpose. They support many forms of life, both plant and animal, and they are used in industrial and medicinal processes. Bacteria are thought to have been the first organisms to appear on Earth about 4 billion years ago. The oldest known fossils are of bacteria-like organisms. Bacteria can use most organic and some inorganic compounds as food, and some can survive extreme conditions. A growing interest in the function of the gut microbiome is shedding new light on the roles bacteria play in human health.

[7] A genome is an organism’s complete DNA set, including all its genes. Each genome contains the information needed to build and maintain that organism. In humans, a copy of the entire genome—more than 3 billion DNA base pairs—is contained in all cells with a nucleus.

[8] Microscopic organisms are tiny life forms, often consisting of a single cell, and very sensitive to change. They are vitally important in the food chain and our planet's health. They are the base of the marine food web and, directly or indirectly, are food for everything else in the open sea. In addition, these microscopic organisms have a role in maintaining the Earth's atmosphere – they help remove carbon dioxide and release chemicals that help form clouds. Scientists study microscopic organisms in the Antarctic so they can better understand atmospheric changes and the depletion of the ozone layer. The four main types of micro-organisms in the ocean are algae, and single-celled plants, also known as phytoplankton (from the Greek, meaning drifting plants). Protozoa, which are single-celled animals also known as zooplankton (also Greek, meaning drifting animals) -  bacteria, which are the most abundant organisms on earth viruses, which are the most abundant biological agents in seawater where they infect phytoplankton, protozoa, and bacteria, and may be important in controlling their abundance and composition.  Bacteria are microscopic, single-celled organisms that exist in their millions, in every environment, both inside and outside other organisms.
